If the election hinges on what comes out of Cenk Uygur's mouth, we're in more trouble than you think

Go ahead and shoot the messenger. See where it gets you.

Whatever it is you think you're accomplishing, to object to Cenk's argument on these grounds is to affirm and entrench what's really objectionable about its premise, which is that disillusionment is going to significantly if not critically depress turnout for Dem candidates. Even if you buy it as a prediction about November -- and I'm not sure I do -- the claim pertains properly to the wishy-washy apolitical middle of the Obama '08 votership, not to the Kos-reading, MSNBC-watching activist base, who we're supposed to believe will be contaminated and paralyzed at the mere mention of voter apathy. Believe me, Cenk Uygur and his audience are not the people we need to worry about.
