It just keeps going up. lamp_shade Jan 2012 #1

I'm liking the trend. AtomicKitten Jan 2012 #2

the re-nominate % was even more startling. 91% liberal Dems. 76% moderates. nt dmallind Jan 2012 #3

I'm surprised, I'd thought just the reverse. demosincebirth Jan 2012 #4

You'd think so around here sure - but Obama nationally dmallind Jan 2012 #9

It makes perfect sense Mojorabbit Jan 2012 #11

So why are Dems less likely to do the same the less liberal they are? dmallind Jan 2012 #12

It's a perception issue.... vi5 Jan 2012 #14

Yeah gratuitous Jan 2012 #13

Sounds like the old communist vote totals Vinnie From Indy Jan 2012 #5

He's kicking ass. Check out this Wired article. napoleon_in_rags Jan 2012 #6

If this poll is believed to be true, why are some trashing "purists" with such vigor? AnotherMcIntosh Jan 2012 #7

There used to be many people who said that the base was leaving. LoZoccolo Jan 2012 #17

Many? ClassWarrior Jan 2012 #22

If you didn't see any, I guess there weren't that many. LoZoccolo Jan 2012 #24

Perhaps the distinction is between the "activists" and the rank-n-file. This site is littered with Tarheel_Dem Jan 2012 #26

The poll numbers are nonsense. The word "purists" was originated by others, the critics by those AnotherMcIntosh Jan 2012 #27

Self-appointed activists? What does that make you? ClassWarrior Jan 2012 #32

I'm willing to bet dollars to donuts that I know a lot more than you do... ClassWarrior Jan 2012 #34

Agreed. But not for the reason you think. Tarheel_Dem Jan 2012 #36

So it has nothing to do with vague, incoherent posts like that? ClassWarrior Jan 2012 #37

The hell you say. Well, color me surprised! That's a good sign. Now, on to the moderates and Honeycombe8 Jan 2012 #16
