So it's not a cult of personality? Clear evidence that a significant percentage of Obama's supporters have no allegiance to the Democratic platform. They are not progressives. They will vote for the GOP rather than HRC. McCain would advance Democratic principles better than HRC? Right.
The question then arises, to whom does Obama owe allegiance? Do you dance with those that brought you?
Another question... if Obama gets beat up by the GOP, will these disenchanted supporters go home to roost with the GOP? McCain wins!

Hillary's campaign released an economic manifesto today http://www.hillaryclinton.com/blog/view/?id=52032
and the blogs are silent. The blogs used to be full of analysis. Now from both sides there are screeds, taunts, preaching and gaming.
Are we to the point where indeed no one cares what our candidates actually propose to do? The fact is we don't.
Has the race boiled down to who looks good or bad , sounds good or bad? This started out looking like a 1960 election redux, now its looking more like 1980.
