Not sure how to took my comment so want to make sure I clarify..... I didn't mean that I think anyone who disagrees with President Obama and voted for him is disenchanted.

Schweitzer seems like he expected an anti-corporate progressive, didn't get one, and is now unhappy about that..... a complaint I've heard before and in my short time on DU have seen a bit. That's what I mean by disenchanted - the folks who convinced themselves of something that was never true to begin with and think they were mislead. Maybe a better word for that.....
