And so little rebutal from you.
So little was necessary. You claimed that Obama was the candidate of the "Democratic machine," which, as others have pointed out, is absolutely ludicrous, and that's true even though it's not at all clear what you meant by "Democratic machine." If you meant the Chicago Democratic machine, you really need to update your references: there hasn't been much of a machine for thirty years. If, on the other hand, you meant the national Democratic Party "establishment," then you obviously haven't been paying attention. If the party establishment could have forced its candidate on the electorate, then Hillary Clinton would be celebrating her nomination right now.

If it's true that 60% of the "traditional Dem voters" don't support Obama, then it's a shame so many of them stayed home and didn't vote in the primaries or participate in the caucuses, because there have only been three primaries where Obama got less than 40% of the vote. If the 60% majority doesn't care enough to participate in the process, then it's only fair that the 40% minority that does participate gets to have a bigger say in the outcome.

Oh well, I'm sure the party will somehow manage without you.
