...and say that this president was elected by the Progressives and the YOUTH vote, and regardless of how unsatisfied those two groups may be with him, we should thank them for getting him the Democratic nomination in '08, and then putting him in the White House in the general election. THANK YOU! The Progressives and the youth vote, two marginalized groups, have saved the collective asses of the whole country by putting this guy in charge.

If left to their own devices, the moderates and the "centrists" and the "third-way" Democrats would have nominated a Lieberman or a Dodd or a Biden because they'd consider any of those guys as "one of their own." And yet Obama has done more for those groups than any other candidate they could have nominated. And if they'd succeeded, the youth and the progressives would have stayed home on election day, and we could have EASILY ended up with Senator McSame and the Half-Governor.
