Yep. Politics is a contact sport. The trick is to get the dirt on yourself out at the right time (not too early, and not too late). Bush not getting out the DUI earlier made the election most interesting (had to know if that was what caused the drop, or his misstep on social security, or just Dems coming home and Gore's on the ground machine, but something did). Bush did a favor for political psephologists and political junkies everywhere.

Dean supporters are pushing back. Backlash against the media and establishment push against Dean is ripe to happen in New Hampshire where the liberals are more liberal and the voters more ornery than in Iowa.
