Obama's Base?

Well, Drudge is headlining this AM that Obama's base has crumbled. This is, obviously, a severe problem, but one that I have noted could happen as Democratic party poobahs contemplate just how much damage to the party they will stand for at hands of The One. I also noted that the "coalition" was long gone - Obama could hang on to his base and still lose re-election because he needs a coalition akin to 2008. But a weak base is almost a sure sign that he is cooked. So, still think the base will rally Peter Beinart?
