Sam, My friends and relatives who were big Obama supporters in 08 and had very high hopes have definitely lost more than a little enthusiasm but have concluded they will vote for him in the general if their vote is needed (whether New Jersey is deemed safely Dem by that point--my Texas relatives face a different dilemma). But if it's not and there is a reasonable third party candidate on the left, they would vote for that person to help demonstrate not so much anti-Obama feeling as to try to bolster up electoral strength on the left. Sorry about that sentence but it's early and I'm just getting the writing juices going. In my sectors of the electorate, the Obama campaign staff has a serious enthusiasm problem. I completely agree about the alternatives but, in so far as their policy decisions and political calculus is focused on the center, they are, unfortunately, going about it in a way that lowers the passion in much of their base.
