I'm either extremely naive or extremely optimistic, but the GOP can't buy political advertising like this. There have to be - minimum - a half dozen sound and videobytes that will be fodder against the Dims in '06. What a gift!
This is a Democrat nervous breakdown, that's all. I find it quite humorous.
I think the whole thing is another hilarious example of the Democrats' ongoing OPERATION FOOTBULLET.
And when the Dems pols start into the "nervous breakdown" mode, you always start to see some semi-reasonable liberals (usually journalists) try to steer them back on the path of sanity, but most often they ignore them, and then they lose more elections.
You have good political instincts.....Reid and Co have screwed up..the public will see this for what it is...a stunt.
