30. Base yes - rest of American no
Each party has about a 35% "base" which can be depended on no matter what. Obama won by getting a large number of independents. Those demographics are the ones turning away from Obama big time (ie Mass Senate). Seeming petty in public, will drive them farther away.

I am afraid Obama is starting to loose it a little bit. His speech came off tonite as slightly desperate and overly agressive.
