Sure the press might scream about it, but lets face it, the voters at either end of the spectrum are apathetic about the means, and of those in the middle , i suspect 80% are too dumb to have an opinion based on rational thought, and need that kind of hammering to form any opinion whatsoever.
the Day of Whack-A-Mole politics is dawning.
Get in the game or get Whacked Off!
Exactly. I'm so damn sick of the GOP(especially the national level) acting like a bunch of p***ies. John Engler understood this, and played on the dems level.
There are three major things that affect campaigns.
1. Numbers game. A certain population is dem or GOP. This is the handicap that the other party needs to overcome. For example, Dems have trouble in Nebraska, and the GOP has trouble in Rhode Island.
2. Campaign organization. This was Gore's ace in the hole in 2000. Organized campaigns win. Campaigns in disarray lose.(Taylor)
3. Work ethic. Who works harderst and smartest usually wins. That means hitting below the belt. That means working 24/7. Engler was a master here.
