That ultimately cost the Clinton's the primaries. Face it, the origin of the worst of this isn't going to be identified with the Republicans, but rather the Clintonistas. In short the backlash is not falling on the Republicans, who have figured out how to come out clean, but on Hillary Clinton and the wankers who supported her in this manner.
While if Hillary had not given McCain a huge advantage by setting up the Republican slime machine for him, this would ordinarily have limited effectiveness - the effect of people going out and finding the facts were a load of bullshit would have balanced out the effect of people believing the bullshit - thanks to Hillary, the backlash is going to go against her and not McCain. The email campaign is made of win for the Republicans.
