Those who get the tinge of the same feeling, or find him "perceptive." That they're as bitter old 2008 primary refighters as Fineman is fairly obvious. That they obviously seem to have some emotional investment in Obama losing is just sad. They're going on ignore until this election is over, in any case, because who could have time for dipshits like that.
