"Clarke's book is just the first strike, Kerry Campaigning by alternative means."

I agree it's got Kerry's fingerprints all over it, but methinks it may just backfire on the RATS!! We're in a War on Terrorism, and all the RATS can do is snipe about how we ain't doing it just right.

I've got major issues with Dubyuh's outta control spending and am seriously considering voting fer the Constitution Party candidate, but the DemonRATS' unfair attack on Dubyuh for his very successful War on Terrorism is forcing me to be that much more supportive of Dubyuh in the upcoming campaign!! Wonder what percentage of the electorate will feel similarly?

This is part of the fallout from McCain-Feingold. Most people here knew from the beginning that this law would drive political money under the table. Working openly through the party would become illegal, so the parties would set up false flag operations, and set up their own media operations (hardly necessary for the Dems, but why not). Since media and non-party organizations are left largely alone, that is where the money would go. The result being that it is now much harder than before to prove a connection, even if it is logically obvious.

Another thing that has changed is the tendency to treat every step in the political process as a war to the finish. Under such conditions absolutely everything is politicized, and if every thing is war, the Repubs had better show up prepared to fight.
