Somebody has to knock doors and make live, real-person phone calls during GOTV. That's what wins elections. If you don't have committed, energized volunteers -- lots of them -- that candidate will not win in most elections.

Obama is almost past the point of no return, no redemption, on that. Sure, I and most progressives will vote for him. But, will we work for him? Not at this point. I don't know what he's going to do in the time that's left, but this doesn't look promising.
