Well, one reason why certain people raise these"divisive" issues, false or true, is to wear voters down, discourage them from further participation in the campaign, and even to vote.
Once you're over your initial enthusiasm for a candidate, it's all hard work.
I do agree that a "no prisoners war" between Clinton and Obama supporters will only further the McCain campaign. But I don't see or hear that level of antipathy in my part of the world. What I do hear is that if their candidate loses in the primary, they will still vote for the Democratic candidate but will be less inclined to work as volunteers in the Presidential Campaign. That is worrisome but may just describe the attitude of the more ardent supporters. And even their attitude may change as the Presidential Campaign heats up, and the Republicans and the surrogates begin forking out the real shit.
I do agree with Feingold's statement and applaud him for making it. Thanks for pointing that out, Gigi.
