I've seen in a number of places this idea that a primary challenge to BHO from the left will permanently alienate DP African-American voters. Now some here will surely think good riddance, but what is in question is not just abandoning the DP, but the left as well. The logical move if this holds water is for African-Americans to move right, which would not be a welcome development.
I'm not sure what to make of it myself, but it seems to be worth talking about. At first blush, it does not imply a very flattering view of black voters.
