The nasty comment from the Kreuger/Grannis camp devolves from the fact that both are smarmy egotistical dilitantes who don't want to get their little hands dirty talking to the common folk who (gasp!) carry their petitions and wind the nuts and bolts of local politics. As for Susan, the best you can say is that she was dopey enough to get caught in this vise -- and then refuse to say she would support the winner of the Democratic nomination. Yeah, sure, that's the way to win the hearts of your party.
