Democrats need a clean race on issues.

The Leslie "Ben Tribbet" Byrne campaign is already a disgrace for local democrats trying to get away from the Karl Rove/George Bush smear campaigns.

Democrats & Emily's List should be above that, but Leslie condones those personal attacks with her website links to that X-rated blog.
