I think this race to the bottom was always fairly predictable on the part of the GOP given recent election cycle history. Really now, how could anyone living outside a cave forget the job they did on Kerry with the Swiftys?
A better and perhaps more all telling example yet is the job Rove did on McCain, a fellow party member back in the '00 primary season with the whisper campaign of mental instability and lingering perscription drug addiction on the part of his wife. Cold enuf for you?
So why is anyone surprised? McCain can't win on the central issues of the economy-health care-Iraq while being consistently tied to the lock-step death march with Bush. And Palin may be the best example yet of why "No Child Left Behind" needs to be funded in earnest.
So this is what they do pure and simple...
It's what they are good at becasue it's obviously not government. Strap yourselves in folks becasue this thing is going to get real ugly and let's not forget push backs and counter claims aside, the media outlets would love to see some of this dirt stick to extend their own cycles.
God Bless America.....indeed
