Darcy Burner's supporters are mad at her.

The darling of the left-wing blogs has come under the wrath of same, due to an article in The UW's Daily.

Her campaign spokesman, Sandeep Kaushik stated in his interview with the author, some things that have been widely taken as a dis on nutroots, when after all, it is they that have made her campaign what it is - well funded by people outside the 8th district.

See DailyKos:

It appears as if Darcy is being put in a very bad position by this development. If she doesn't suck up to the nutroots, and do it quick, she may lose her fundraising gravy train. And if she does what they want, she will show us more moderate 8th CD residents, who she really represents - the whacky fringe left.

I find it interesting that with all the furor about this in the "national" left wing blogs, there is nothing on the local boys rants, HA and NPI.

This might be fun to watch in the coming days.

1. This is what happens when you tie yourself to the ball and chain of the angry nutty left. This is going to be fun to watch Darcy try and walk this tight rope.

Check out the WSJ opinion page for a great article on the troubles with the angry left.

They'll screw this one up again, because they don't think that moderate Democrats even exist.

3. Plus, Darcy SHOULD be afraid of these far left loony blogs. They say dispiccable things about the military, and foul language is almost a requirement. They are just not family-friendly kinds of places to hang out, really.
