Because ALL of the Dem candidates, as well as such Dem leaders as Pelosi and Reid, pander at the feet of "grassroots" [gag] organizations like MoveOn, ANSWER, CodePink and YearlyKos. They supplicate America-loathing thugs like George Soros while flooding their coffers with his money. They curiously lend support to the tin-foil hat Troofer brigade and their lies.
The GOP may tolerate their fringe elements for votes - but the fringe of the Left is the Democrats current soul.
And with each additional post, GGG is proving my point.

This may be a YMMV issue. Based on geography I'm sure you see a good bit more of the ludicrous side of the Dems than I do.
I don't see Obama as a darling of the Lefty Dems, and his win was decisive. Maybe I'm being naive, but he seems to be a realist. If Edwards were to get the nomination and more support from the party, that would show the Dems were indeed pandering to the silliest elements of their party. But he's not. Hell, even the NYTimes maligned him as a "trial lawyer" and "hedge fund exec" in its Oped page today.
The machine is still behind Hillary, and she's basically a centrist.
BTW, I didn't suggest the loons were the soul of the GOP. I just suggested that the GOP's loons were a little more overtly loony than the Dems'. ...And the GOP did just hand Iowa to a guy who doesn't buy Evolution, so...
