Is it possible to run against a sitting President in your own party?

Asked by talljasperman (21916points) March 24th, 2012

From CNN Election Center: Incumbent President Barack Obama is running uncontested in most states states for the 2012 Democratic presidential nomination. He is expected to receive all delegates in most states.

Why did CNN use the word most instead of all? Which Democrat is running against him? Is this just a typo? It begs the question “Is it possible to run against a sitting president in your own party”? Who does CNN think is running against President Obama in the Democratic presidential nomination?
Can the Super Delegates then vote for anyone they like?

Serious answers and humor are welcome just don’t ask me to ask CNN myself.
