Kerry and McCain both tried to stay above the smears.
They both lost because of it. So what does this mean, that when smeared you have to fight back fiercely? Maybe, although remember often the whole reason for the smear is to get you denying things and knocking you off-message.

Denying things is often costly. Nixon denied he was a crook, but he was. CLinton denied he slept with Monica, but he did. etc.
