As long as the voting public rewards these tactics with success, we can be guaranteed of seeing them continue. However, one "bright" spot is that none of this is new. Dirty politics was the reason that George Washington dropped out of the presidency. (He said he could take anything they threw at him, but he wasn't going to have his daughters be targets for the muck machine.) Rove is a particular bastard and an egregious example, but he's only a more recent example. It isn't like Obama walked into this and got surprised that the other kids don't play nice. Have faith. Let's see what else he can do. I agree with you Esther. As long as the voting public rewards these tactics with success, we can be guaranteed of seeing them continue.

It is how Bush does things and now this is how McCain is going to campaign. This next Republican election will be meaner towards Obama, if he is nominated, than even Bush's Swiftboat attacks on Kerry. You ain't seen nothing, yet.
