Stupid is as MoveOn.org Does

So, I’m checking my facebook and I see this ad in the sidebar:

The ad slams Minnick and, when you click on the link, it comes from MoveOn.org. So, you’ve got the far left wing of the Democratic Party deciding to take pot shots at the only Democrat to win any congressional race in this state in 16 years. What could go wrong?

Pressuring Minnick to go left is dumb. Attacking Minnick for voting like he promised he was going to vote is dumb. This ad shows the great tragedy that has left the Idaho Democratic Party a shadow of it’s former self. If Minnick continues on the road he’s on, he’ll have trouble gathering support from the left wing of the Party. if he takes more left wing moves, he’ll end up losing.

He barely won this time and probably wouldn’t have won without the Howard Dean/Barack Obama 50-state machine and the strong Obama turnout. His chances at re-election are dicey, and Republicans are only helped by the efforts of national groups to divide Idaho Democrats.
