In Which Zandar Answers Your Burning Questions

As the President wades through the abortion debate at Notre Dame this afternoon, Noel Sheppard at NewsBusters dissects this Josh Gerstein piece at Politico and comes up with this question:
So, is this an honest assessment by Gerstein of growing discontent amongst liberals towards the new President, or a warning to Obama to name a liberal replacement to Souter or risk losing the support of his base?
The answer simply enough is "Both."

When Obama plays the Odubya card, he simply reminds the netroots that in politics, you're either a useful idiot, or just an idiot. As I've said before, Obama's "three steps forward, three steps back" political philosophy means in the end, nothing actually changes.
