Why bashing Democratic candidates is a bad idea

[PatSeg]

I've raised this issue in numerous threads and I think we'd be wise to promote our choices without throwing dirt at the other dems.

Thinking ahead to the general election, I can picture republican strategists recycling our own rants and using them against our nominee. I figure, let them find their own material. I don't think we should do their job for them. I can hear them now and what I'm hearing could be taken right off of these threads.
