http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Doolittle was around 85% knocking copy. I removed this and put a strongly worded comment on Talk about undue weight and WP:LIVING. I don't give a rat's ass if there is a close-fought election in process, if anything that is the worst conceivable reason for bloating an article with guilt-by-association and innuendo.
Needless to say there is an edit war. Of course these facts are cited; but do we really need to know that he took campaign contributions from some guy and did not give them away like the other people who took the guy's money? Is that *honestly* the business of a neutral encyclopaedia article?
We are surely not far from the day when a politician sues the project for causing him to lose a knife-edge election. Or is that [[WP:BEANS]]?
