A little bit up the thread there was talk about the Swift-boating that will occur once the general election swings into motion. It already has. We're now hearing all about Vince Foster again, in case it's Clinton, and the madrassa-Osama-sleeper Muslim-all-black church stuff is just starting to simmer enough to make a Swift Boat Stew 'round about August.
The problem with all this nonsense? I know people (good ol' reglar Amuricans)who believe this stuff to be literally true. Not as an attack, or as a "theoretical concern" about a candidate, but I know people who honestly believe that Obama is secretly a Muslim and probably an Al Qaeda operative. Don't discount this kind of attack, there are plenty of people who will believe ANYTHING.
My other point (ok, so it should be "one brief point and one longwinded one, sorry): i'm clipping and saving this article, and will refer back to it in September when McCain has an 11 point lead on Clinton and those of us lighting victory cigars right now are too depressed to even read War Room.
