center elected him.
"Progressives", whatever the hell that means, are the Democrats' version of the Republicans' right-wing evangelicals. Obama was elected because millions of centrist voters thought he was the best man for the job. He is brilliant, and I hope he is also a master politician. He's more likely to get something done than an extreme leftist who would have every policy subject to a Republican fillibuster, possibly supported by Blue-dog Democrats. Give the guy, and the country, a chance.

I have a bit of news for you, the extreme left does not vote for republicans or democrats no matter how slick and polished they might present themselves, now center left or by your definition Progressives need to shift their support to a republican in 2012 to send a message to dems that they are sick and tired of being taken for granted.
There is always tomorrow~!
