A Democrat in Kentucky does not necessarily share the same opinions as a Dem from NYC, for example. This has been a feature of the Democratic Party for decades, for better or worse.

True, the Dems, as a broad coalition, have always been somewhat more chaotic than the gop. But my only point is that Dems weren’t running away from Obama due to some hypothetical impeachment. They were doing it for the same reasons northern Republicans ran away from George Bush in 2006—he wasn’t very popular at the time. And for the same reason that Scott Brown and other northern Republicans didn’t run as Tea Party candidates in yesterday’s election.
