Does the End Justify the Means? More than the presidency is at stake in Florida.

In the beginning there was Robert Bork, a superbly qualified appellate
judge, nominated in 1987 by President Reagan to the U.S. Supreme
Court. When hearings were held before Sen. Joseph Biden's Judiciary
Committee, liberal Democrats commenced the scorched earth,
win-at-all-costs, end-justifies-the-means tactics that they are still
using in Florida today. They intentionally misrepresented Judge Bork's
record, smeared him as a bigot and waged a national political campaign
against him. Judge Bork was voted down 58-42, and the term to bork
became a part of William Safire's Political Dictionary: "to attack
viciously a candidate or appointee, especially by misrepresentation in
the media."
