The Democrats of the Northeast are true believers in the truest sense of that phrase. The answer to your question is "No", they haven't figured it out and they never will because they are so completely devoted to Obama and his Democrats that their minds refuse to believe anything bad about their beloved Democrats and their one true god and leader Barack Hussein Obama. Their love and worship of him is what these people in the Northeast live for every day. They'll gladly and lovingly suffer for him and his Democrats.
George Patton the WW2 general had a favorite quote about who will die in their beliefs.
I am starting to see that the modern day true to the death believers are not conservatives, indeed it is the other side.
