Did they EVER do this before? Dedicate an entire issue in opposition to one candidate before a single vote is cast? Did they ever do an issue like this when 0bama arrived on the National stage?
I have always voted for the nominee, no matter who I voted for in the primaries...and since 1992 they were always a different candidate than who eventually ended up on the ticket.
In 1962 and 1965, NR devoted an entire issue to attacking the John Birch Society, but as far as I know, they have never before done this to a presidential candidate.
