…yet he will still be Nominated?

From a comment on this post at Talk Left:
I want to say one thing to the American people.
I want you to listen to me. I’m going to say this again: I did not have spiritual relations with that church, Trinity Church. Never. These allegations are false.
The ‘great unifier’ once again shows his lack of loyalty to those who helped make him the politician he is, his utter lack of principle, his questionable choices of friends and associates, and his exceedingly poor judgement. The ‘great unifier’ continues to show that he is becoming the single most divisive person in American Politics.
His Grandmother, Rev. Wright, Fr. Pfleger, and now Trinity United Church of Christ have all be tossed under the BHO Campaign bus. Who’s next?
All Black Churches?
The African American Community?
Ayers?
Rezko?
Chicago?
Michelle? …
The Democratic base jumped on the bandwagon for the first candidate that made them feel good, Obama’s. With little vetting he was anointed as the savior of the party and the nation by activists, party loyalists and those looking for change and a fresh approach. Emotionally attached and emotionally invested in such a feel good personality, they are driving identity politics to a new high low. BHO’s candidacy and his campaign is seriously dividing the Democratic Party and has almost no chance of winning in November or of uniting the country. The question becomes, “How much damage is it doing to the party?”
Assuming BHO is the nominee and loses in November, will the Democrats come out of this election stronger and with renewed vigor to challenge the extremeists now dominating the party, or will the moderates continue to be forced out… will there be more Liebermans leaving the party that no longer represents their values?
Red States are still red… blue states are still blue, and ONCE AGAIN a general election is going to be decided by all of us voters in the middle. The winning candidate will be the one whose views, record, and history align most closely with all of us moderates in the middle of the spectrum. Its’ not even very complicated math to figure that out.
BHO’s early supporters… those who FELT so good when hearing him speak the magic words of, Hope, change and unity… were either duped, or simply didn’t realize how far left his politics are. Unfortunately for them, in today’s world, the voters will not be so easily convinced that Obama shares their values. Time is proving that the more BHO talks, the more he shows us moderates that he does NOT share our values nor our sympathies. So that vast number of voters falling in the middle of the bell curve of the left/right; or statist/individualist spectrum will almost certainly elect McCain in November when they decide which candidate’s politics are closest to their own.
To me, the real puzzle is why the Democrats are so insistent on nominating people on the far left side of the curve. Gore… Kerry… and now Obama? All three elections would have been won by centrist Democrats, yet in the interest of some nebulous “thought purity” of leftist politics, two of the elections were handed to Republicans and the third is about to be. The collection of victim groups that forms the activist base of the Democratic Party and plays the identity politics card so well, simply doesn’t work when trying to convince the majority of Americans… who are not part of the “victimized” classes… to elect them. Will they ever learn their formula doesn’t work?
JFK’s Democratic Party, with the theme: “Ask not what your Country can do for you; Ask what you can do for your country!” has been relegated to the history books. The theme of victimhood central to today’s Democratic identity politics has reversed the theme and continually demands that the country do more and more for them.
It’s not a winning strategy.

So they can congratulate themselves on having done so.
