AHC: President Randall Terry in 2012?

Pro-life activist Randall Terry has announced that he will challenge President Obama for the democratic nomination in 2012. Your challenge is to make it so that he wins the nomination and explain the general election afterwards. Make it happen.

Randall Terry never gets involved in anti-abortion activism and instead goes into mainstream politics. :p

Anti-abortion candidates have won elections before, but those who praise abortion clinic bombers and advocate capital punishment for abortion don't have a prayer. There simply aren't enough christian fundamentalists in the US, and I get the sense he's too radical for a good percentage of the fundamentalists too. OTL he can't win a *Republican* primary for state office, let alone having a shot at the presidency.

Even if you avert Roe v. Wade and the 1960s, it wouldn't work, because without legal abortion there's no reason for an anti-abortion movement to get off the ground in the first place. And single-issue candidates can't win the presidency anyway, and Terry would have a huge uphill climb to avoid that perception... especially since his views on *other* political issues are equally extreme.

Lyndon Larouche has a better chance.
