something like, "Progressive Prez 2016".

I mean let's face facts, Obama will be the Dem candidate in 2012, period. There will be no primary.

And so, complaining about Obama isn't going to effect the 2012 election much, unless the disappointed stay home.

But I keep wondering when they will take their disappointment and start thinking about 2016. Or what will the disappointed do, wait until 2015, and then lament the lack of a true progressive candidate?

So far no one who claims to be disappointed has tried to start the discussion I suggest. Why not?

On edit: You might want to update that "Obama is really pro-gay" dot on your bingo card.
