That candidate would act as a conservative spoiler to confuse voters and pull votes from Adler's eventual Republican challenger

That's been a tactic for years, from both R's and D's. Runyan's problems stem from the fact that he has run a poor campaign.

So you were just as outraged when Republicans recruited homeless people to run as Greens in AZ in order to hurt Democrats, right?

You saw it as underhanded desperation then too, right?

You were just as surprised then, right?

You trying to say that Democrats are too stupid to know who they're voting for in their own primary?

All crap like that bothers me. A few years back, Dems were handing out cigarettes to the homeless to get them to the polls here in Milwaukee.

All of those dirty tactics should be considered outrageous by all, and the people who perpetuate them should be scorned by the more serious candidates.

Agreed. Just pointing out the hypocrisy, that's all.
