It certainly smells of desperation. I can see this backfiring for Obama but it's hard to imagine a remotely media savvy GOP.
CBS is\e already planning to skip Ann Romney for a repeat of Hawaii 5-O after having shown Michelle Obama's speech in 2008.
I don't know if other networks are following their lead.
How do you fight people who have no scruples and no morals, lie and don’t care if they’re seen to be lying, flout the law and the Constitution and don’t care if they’re seen doing it as long as they can get away with it, use the race card as a shield, dare anyone to hold them accountable, smirk as the lies come from their lips and even think more of themselves for being able to lie to your face even though you and they both know they’re lying? How do you fight people who have no conscience and no shame?
