Sanity -> RE: Uncivil War: Conservatives to challenge a dozen GOP candidates (11/5/2009 8:57:41 PM)

If someone campaigns for the Republican, the Democrat, or the Independent - so what. Its SOP, you come in and try to help out who you think is the better person. Whats odd to me is that you hate her coming there, you're admitting that she makes a positive difference and that people like her. She's not the kiss of death... which that is a contradiction of what a lot of Progressives would like people to believe.
But her or Obama was telling New Yorkers who was godly and who is unclean, there is no practical difference. To smear her as Stalinist because you disagree with her politically is extreme.

Campaigning is fine. If that's all she did, fair game.
Obama didn't come in and say "Your candidate isn't the right kind of Democrat--you have to take this one instead." He certainly would have had ground--Owens is a newcomer and an Independent. Instead, local Democrats made their choice, and Obama supported it.
He didn't campaign by lying about the Republican having connections to ACORN either, or the many other bizarre attacks on the party's choice.
It's a large difference.
Separate issue, btw, but Obama's campaigning helped no one, here or in NJ or VA. Voters decided races on local issues--left between Hoffmann and Owens, that left Owens.
