The article says that 85% of Dems would still vote for Obama again. Pretty depressing. I don’t know what it would take to drive them away.

I think that is because they vote party first and issues second.

They need an alternative that isn’t actively demonizing them and scaring away even Independents or moderate Republicans. Obama is only a fallback candidate and could end up with a share of the vote anywhere from 30-60/70% depending on his opponent.

That’s true. But it’s actually because they don’t think at all. They never really even consider the issues, they just vote Dem.
