There is something sick and twisted
in the feverish monomania of the Obama supporters, not just in the MSM but on blogs like Dailykos, which has essentially become an ongoing pep rally for their guy. It's a cult, basically. If you disagree, raise any questions at all about their demigod, they swarm you, demonize you, chant in your face. I do think it is turning thoughtful adults off.
Also, Obama's Reaganesque attachment to stylistic spectacle over substance (like that grotesquely fulsome Kennedy endorsement event) may be backfiring on him with core Democratic constituencies who don't buy his messiah narrative. He got crushed among working-class voters in Massachusetts, who apparently want more than happy words and rah-rah shows.
There IS a reason he is losing blue-collar voters, Latinos, and older voters. But to listen to the Obama fans, the only possible explanations are are that they're racists or they're old and cynical. His fans' persistent attempts (which Obama himself today endorsed) to basically blackmail Dems into supporting him by implying that his glorious coalition will abandon the party in November if he's not the nominee, is only making things worse.
