Hillary/Obama tension hurting local races and parties

The tension between the Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama presidential campaigns is now filtering down to local races and party organizations. The stuff you see on a daily basis at the national level is being duplicated locally, and this is where the candidate(s), once again, better think about the results of their actions and the tone they are setting for our party.

I just spoke to a local Party official here in Colorado Springs who had a local candidate come to him for help. The candidate is running for State House in a district that's trending our way. She made a go of it two years back, and is ready for another run.

Her campaign manager backs Hillary. Her finance director backs Barack. They are both at each others' throats and the candidate, instead of focusing all her energy on removing one more whack job Republican from office, now how to deal with the Hillary/Obama fight on a daily basis.

We can't win - locally or nationally - with this never-ending bickering. One person can end it. And I don't see it happening...........
