Mike over at Blueweeds says what ought to be said:
I have been trying to stay away from the increasingly odd temper tantrums promoted by the MacAuliffe “netroots” supporters over at Blue Commonwealth and  Blue Virginia. There is a level of self importance which I do not understand, which is bad for the party, and which makes folks like myself, whom I would describe as true neutral grassroots Democrats who have zero interest in being employed by any campaign, want to do anything other than support the candidate jammed at me by the self-described progressive netroots bloggers.
This sort of childishness has happened every cycle since the Miller-Webb primary, and every time, it does a little more damage. If you’re part of it, stop it. If you’re in the audience, get up and leave. And for fuck’s sake, Virginia Democrats, stop rewarding it.

You’re habit of saying exactly what you think has finally rubbed off on me …

Primaries get heated, but we are no worse for the wear. The blogs were ablaze during the Clinton/Obama primary of last year, and we came through that and we won Virginia.
Is any Democrat really going to sit out with hurt feelings and let Bob McDonnell win? I just don’t see that.
These whose-the-grassrootsyest, whose-the-greenest, whose-the-most-free-of-corporate-influence, whose-the-most-progressive arguments seem harmless to me. The personal attacks should stop. But other than that, seems like not a big deal to me.
Maybe I am just in a super-good mood though. =)

See what a difference a day makes! It’s all sunshine, lollipops, and rainbows at BC today. See after these heated discussions, that burn out pretty quickly, that abiding desire to beat Bob McDonnell remains.

Yeah, I think it does a good bit more damage than that.
