It has been highly amusing to me to watch the netroots demand ideological purity from their candidates at the expense of nominating people that can win elections, and then claiming that, "they just weren't pure enough!" (Hint: the reason that Congress's approval rating is even lower than the President's isn't that they haven't started on impeachment proceedings against the President.)
It would not be a good idea to follow their example, as Shawn Macomber so elegantly reminds us on the AmSpec blog. Support or don't support a candidate as you like, but leave room in the tent for the rest of us, please, and try to keep in mind that general elections are won by the guy or gal that appeals to the whole country.
