The thing that they don’t seem to “get” is that they’ll never reproduce the energy of the “Tea Party” movement with a top-down, organized-by-diktat organization.
The other thing they’re not “getting” is that one of the reasons that the “grassroots” of the left aren’t going to get fired up like they did in 2008 is that The Oneness hasn’t delivered jack-all for them. Sure, he signed a healthcare bill... that even the liberals are starting to loath. Gitmo is still open, we’re still in Iraq, etc.
From their perspective, Obama’s administration has been a huge disappointment. As a result, they’re just not going to get all that fired up...

The thing is, they have no concept of any other way of doing things than “top-down, organized-by-diktat”.
This is why the Tea Party is driving them nuts - “who’s the LEADER of the Tea Party!!???” (so we can attack him).
