Adam: 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/Adam's Blog. More here.

Question: Do you agree with Adam that Minnick would have a difficult time if he listened to the extremists in the Idaho Demo party and moved left?
