The Democrat Party must decide whether it wants to go down with the US Obama or not. So must individual Democrats, especially those in vulnerable re-election races.

J. R. Dunn has a good piece describing the disillusionment with Obama
It appears that the left is washing its hands of Obama. In recent days we’ve seen a number of left-wing spokesmen ranging from Bill Maher to Frank Rich dismissing Obama as a disappointment — too centrist, too moderate, not at all the American Lenin they’d ordered.
