I struggle with this question:

Why can the Dems inspire the “Entitlement Army” to vote every 4 years but not every 2 years. Somehow the difference in physical activity required does not seem that great....?

Many in their base are NOT well informed, intelligent people. Rush calls them the low information voters (that is putting it politely, IMHO) For these types of voters, it is so much easier to focus and be motivated when a Barack Obama or Hillary Clinton is at the top of their party's ticket, running for president. Midterms are for Senate, House, etc; heck many of them have no idea who represents them in DC or their state capitols, but they all know who is running for Prez.
