This article clearly lays out the strategy (or strategery) for defeating a bunch of Rats in November. Unfortunately, this requires that the RNC be aggressive in attacking the Rats for being obstructionist. The RNC has never, IMHO, been very aggressive. They and the rest of the Republicans are handicapped by a sense of fair play, whereas the Rats know that politics is no game, but a contest for power. How else do you explain all of the Rat senators from states that traditionally vote Republican in the presidential race? I'll believe that the Republicans will aggressively fight the Dems, putting them on the defensive, when I see it. I'm not holding my breath.

Let's point the firing squad in the right direction. The RNC will be exactly as aggressive as President Bush tells it to be. The RNC took a lot of unfair heat for the '92 and '96 campaigns. The fact is, in those years the RNC was full of blood-on-the-floor partisans who were in despair at the unwillingness of Bush and Dole to attack (not to mention their inability to speak the language). The candidate, and now the President, controls the campaign. As he should. Don't blame the spearcarriers; it's OUR job to nominate the right candidate.
