Disappointed in Amanda, Disappointed in the Edwards Campaign

Picking up from Gordon's post on the subject. Personally, I'm disappointed that Amanda quit. Being a Jersey Guy, my reaction to a situation like this is to dig in my heels and double whatever would be annoying Donohue. Instead, Donohue has at least a partial victory now. He has had an effect on the hiring of a campaign in which he has no interest beyond destruction. And has probably made other campaigns leery of getting involved with bloggers. I truly hope that Shakes manages to hold on. Amanda made the wrong move. The Edwards campaign, btw, contributed to this by no ignoring Donohue in the 1st place. He is not a spokesman for any legitimate group. Until we start standing up to such people, they are going to keep getting away with it. Politics is a street game, there is no etiquette.
