Younger Voters Shift From Obama

And then there's Obama and the DNC working their butts off to prevent more liberal/progressive Democrats from getting elected by trying to discourage base turnout and this.

Another example of Obama, RahmEmanuel, the DLC, DavidAxelrod, DavidPlouffe, et al, working their butts off to prevent real progressives getting into office is BlueDog Blanche Lincoln.

Going against tradition and practice, the WhiteHouse put its full weight and support behind BlancheLincoln over the true progressive candidate in the primary, union-backed Lt. Governor Bill Halter. 

Presidents do NOT get involved in primaries. Citizens have little enough of a Constituti­onally-guaranteed role within this democracy as it is -- We have the right to vote, but not to have our ballots counted (the founders were nothing if not ironic). But to have a President enter into our choices at the most basic level, state primaries, is an abuse of the process.

While Obama is the first president to do it, it wasn't the first time Obama did it.

Obama made a deal with Arlen Specter and put the full weight and support of the Democratic machine behind Specter during the 2010 primary in Pennsylvania, trying to buy off Joe Sestak (among other alternative candidates Democratic voters in PA might have wanted to vote to have representing them).

Consider that: Obama actively went about trying to prevent Democratic voters from choosing their preferred candidate for the US so that a DINO, Republican Arlen Specter, could retain the seat.
