But when he keeps using these rightwing frames over and over again, he's making it clear that he doesn't need the progressives in the race. And when he's doing this in the PRIMARY, what's he going to be like in the general? Sorry. Rhetoric has significance (which these guys well know). Obama has avoided a lot of serious scrutiny so far, but eventually, he's going to get it. What then? Who's he going to toss under the bus next?
