I agree with you up to a point. I am worried about them having the financial resources to do it effectively. I remember Karen Hughes being asked at one point in an interview if the GOP would go after Kerry's military service. She said that Kerry served honorably just as W did, but what Kerry did afterwards is fair game.
I enjoyed the Krugman/Will moment.
I think Will nailed it ... this next Swiftee ad is going to be bad. and the next, and the next, and the next...
Even if the Swiftees are silenced, the net will carry on. The Blogosphere is ballooning daily.
