It'll work forever... democrats have been given so many passes by the press they can run fools and idiots... All we have to do is quote them. On the other hand, we do have an agenda... the press doesn't quite 'get it' - because they've bought into straw man caricatures of us... Which again works in our favor. It's a perfect storm and it'll last until there's no blue on the map...
No, the silent campaign will not work again. It only worked this time because Obama was an Albatross and couldn't keep his mouth shut.
