It's not about one vote in a losing cause or purity or consistency, it's about leadership. Obama has the opportunity to further re-define what national security means but has instead chosen to accept the Republican definition on this issue and fall in line.

You're conflating "white Democrats who hold a negative view of Obama" with "white Clinton supporters."

I'm confused by the apparent contradiction between Anna's unyielding demands of progressive policies and her stated former support of Edwards. I wouldn't go as far as Feingold, but if you want to hold up someone's voting records as a guide to commitment to progressive politics, be consistent.

People like Louisville are why the Democrats consistently lose Presidential elections. Crafting a 51% electoral strategy and progressive politics don't easily mix because a 51% strategy relies on stoking fear and running up the opponent's negatives.
The Clinton campaign has adopted such a strategy for the nomination because, like Republicans, they have little positive appeal themselves; therefore the reliance on themes like "vetted," "experienced," and "CiC threshold" which inherently play off of people's fears and insecurities. But the Republicans have shown to be far better at this strategy than Democrats. It fits Republican ideology whereas it contradicts progressive ideology.
