Escalating situation.

[SarahD]

Two Democrats going totally negative against each other. I hope they agree to call a halt, but things usually don't work that way.

1. That' how Democracy works......................

We agree to disagree. Both parties or more do care about the countries people as well.

2. That's pretty common in the primaries.

Once someone wins the nomination, cooler heads tend to prevail in time for the GE push.

3. Interesting post.

One would think primary contests were unusual.

4. Primaries are usually a slug fest. That is how the system works.

After the primaries people kiss and make up and work to get the nominee elected.

5. Barbara Boxer endorsed Adam Schiff for Senate because

she doesn't like Katie Porter's negative attacks on him.

Boxer made the endorsement public Thursday, calling Schiff a "pragmatic progressive who gets things done."

Schiff represents California's 30th district. He currently leads in the polls ahead of former LA Dodgers player Steve Garvey, who is running as a Republican, and Reps. Katie Porter and Barbara Lee, representatives of California's 47th and 12th districts, respectively.

Boxer previously said she would remain neutral due to her friendship with Schiff and Lee unless she saw Democrat-on-Democrat attacks.

However, "unwarranted pointed attacks" she accuses Porter of making against Schiff have made her reconsider.

6. This race is a hazardous one for us -- Porter only won the seat by 4 points.

The Dem who wins the primary may be so damaged by these personal attacks that s/he will lose to the R in November.
