GOP operatives in Washington and the district say he is running a destructive primary campaign, and national and local leaders are doing just about anything they can to avoid having him as their nominee.  "He's offending a lot of people," said attorney Will McBride, who opted out of the race last week. "He's rubbing people the wrong way. He needs to be a little more professional in his approach to reaching out to local leaders in our party."  Numerous others confirmed the widespread bristling at Gutierrez's early maneuvers.  "He's pissing people off a lot," said a leading local GOP operative. "He's very pushy and is an unknown commodity, and people are jealously guarding their prerogatives."
