This is the same tactic that the Democrats and their friends in the mainstream media used in the last Presidential election cycle. They no longer wait until the Republicans have selected their candidate. Now, they take down whoever seems to be emerging as the top contender before the primaries even begin. Last time around, they took down Herman Cain once he began to attract some attention. Then, they went after Michele Bachmann as soon as her campaign began to get some traction. The objective is to have the eventual nominee seen as “damaged goods” before the campaign gets underway.
Who among us here can forgive Chris Wallace for asking her if she's a flake?
