Do attacks on your favorite candidate make you more or less likely to support him or her?

9. I voted 'more likely', but really, it depends

If it is something FACTUAL, of which I was not previously aware, and makes the candidate appear to be a hypocrite and/or antithetical to what I consider to be Democratic Party Values, then yes; John Edwards and his lying/infidelity, I like Bernie, but his refusal to disavow some of the people on his campaign who are slimeballs, Hillary and her speeches to Wall Street entities when the details of such became known. These are the kinds of things that make me less likely to support someone in the primaries.

If it's just someone saying shit like 'They don't have enough experience', 'they don't have enough {group X} support, 'they used to be a Republican, 'they worked with former segregationists' or some such well known stuff, then the fact some troll is blathering about it makes me more sympathetic to the candidate. Vetting is fine, let's get the dirty laundry out NOW, everyone has some and it's is a factor (but not the only one, plus definitions vary).
