    Glenn, you are contradicting yourself

    First you make it sound as if Democrats are letting themselves get attacked over and over again, and you seem to be suggesting they're doing something wrong. Then later on you say that if Dems were to make personal attacks, it would be a "stupid strategy."

    So what exactly are you saying? And what would you have Dems do differently?
