Just yesterday I had an encounter with a clan of Democrats, pure lever pulling Democrats, that could be construed either as direct evidence that Obama is going to win, or quite the contrary, that Obama's base is not fired up, and therefore less likely to show up.
There were about five of them, at a festival, having a good time. One came right out and asked me if I want to talk politics! Does shit stink?
But it soon devolved into, on their part, a demonstration of all the nonsensical reasons to vote for anyone, but particularly linked to the liberal left.
Feelings, wasted vote, straight party proclivities.
I attempted one plea, "Why should I vote for Obama?" That was after honest assertion that I didn't know who I was voting for in November. Left unanswered
I also attempted one point, that I was Catholic and cherished religious freedom and that Obama Care is at odds with that constitutional plank. Lost.
Its not that they couldn't comprehend my concerns if they understood me, but I was left with the impression that they had no idea what I'm referring too.
Catholic Hospitals forced to perform abortions, 'natch.
So there you have it, my contention is that Obama does not suffer from loss of support of the people who voted him in in the first place. They don't care much about anything other than the letter "d" after his name.
Others may read into the lack of energy and particulars among his supporters as evidence of tepid support in November -- low turn out.
