Z, didn't Grey Davis do just that in CA a few years back? Yep. In 2002, Davis ran a whole bunch of attack ads against Richard Riordan, who was running against Bill Simon for the GOP nomination for CA governor. The ads worked, and Davis got what he wanted: a less moderate opponent whom he could then pelt with more attack ads. The resulting ugliness created one of the lowest turnouts for the 2002 CA governor's election, which then lowered the barrier for the subsequent recall (since the number of people signing the recall petition needed to be 12% of the last election turnout.)
