On my way to the book store this afternoon, I heard about ten minutes of the Sean Hannjob AM radio gabfest. He and the rubes that called in were pissing and moaning about a campaign ad being run by Obama or one of the PACs supporting him. I didn't get the details, but it's apparently the ad that led to Mittwit's press secretary defending the Massachusetts medical program this week. This went on at least ten minutes, if you can believe that shit.
For years, Republicans were able to steamroll Democrats in presidential races because they'd perfected the art of dirty politics, and Democrats either didn't understand how to fight back or were too chickenshit to try. Bush 41 against Dukakis in 1988 was a classic example. Things started balancing out a little when Clinton ran in 1992 and 1996, but the GOP regained the upper hand in 2004 when they successfully swiftboated Kerry.
I don't have a problem with lowdown gutter-fighting as long as both sides are taking turns bloodying each other. I'm glad that Democrats are on the attack, and I hope they keep the pressure on and the mud flying. Republicans need to man up and stop pouting. Stop being such a pussy, Mitt.
