Feigen, says he has grassroots support and that's great. You can win with grassroots. However Conlin has establishment support, so Feigen should just get over it. Sounds like a whiner who thinks its unfair that their competitor has been out raising money for Democrats (?). Way to call attention to the fact that apparently Conlin has been helping to build the party and you haven't.

Anyways I hope the whole primary isn't like this. This is pathetic behavior by Feigen in my opinion.

Let's see…..no positions of merit yet, brings only money and baggage to the table, bailed on the party last time she was given responsibility (ask her how long she was Chair)…..sounds like trying to buy the primary to me.
She's the best thing Chuck Grassley has going for him at this point.

I'm all for contested primaries, so may the best Democrat win. I am glad that Feigen is talking about economic issues and Bob Krause is sounding the alarm about Afghanistan.

I find it distasteful that Fiegen is throwing around words like “blackmailed” and “strong-arming”, though. It sounds like Conlin is calling Democrats she's supported in the past and asking if she can count on their support now. That is VERY different from blackmailing or threatening someone, as an attorney like Fiegen surely knows.
