Yes, I noticed that too, and had the same reaction to Susan Estrich. I couldn't believe it when she claimed that the Democrats had been "restrained" up to this point, and I was even more incredulous that none of the commentators called her on it.

And now, believe it or not, Susan Estrich says it’s time to get dirty because we’ve been too restrained up to now. She doesn’t want Kerry to make the “Dukakis mistake” of being too nice.

I heard Susan Estrich screaming her head off as well. She said they were being nice? A year of "Bush is Hitler", "Bush knew", and "Hate Bush" was somehow restrained? Furthermore, I was not old enough to vote in 88' and quite frankly did not pay attention, but Susan said that Dukakis ran a clean, nice, campaign. History tells me that is not the case? What do you guys remember?
