The primaries are basically about to begin, there are no real challengers. The Democratic party at large was not/is not interested in nominating anyone else. And by the Democratic party, I mean the actual voters who are affiliated with the party. We largely don't give 2 shits what Cenk and other professional contrarians wanted this year. We all but ignored any calls for a primary challenger. We just weren't interested in it. We want to run Obama again and win him a second term. We are proud of much of what he has done, we are forgiving of the things he didn't get accomplished and we are willing to stand behind him and give him time to accomplish more.
Thats what it boils down to. Obama will be the Democratic nominee and there isn't a god damn thing Cenk or any other foolish, pseudoprogressive can do about it. If you don't like it, there are other parties out there. Go join one. The Democratic party at large is behind Barack Obama for 2012. Thats the way its going to be. Deal with it.
