“But, if we fail to do that job”
Who is “we” ?
“We” have people who will do this if it looks like it will help (and it may not - what we partisans think is a slam-dunk may not be to the voters that we are targeting), at the best possible time. This “we” probably won’t include McCain, as it has not included any victorious presidential candidate. Thats not their role.
I do see a pile of material that is likely being packaged for what looks like the latter end of an escalated negative campaign. There is going to be worse and worse mud flung in this thing.
This is hardly about "mudslinging." It is about whether or not America elects an extremist socialist and a radically pro-abortion, pro-infanticide, pro-invalid-murder atrocity-candidate as U.S. President.
