>>My only hope is that the American electorate is finally tired of this type of cynical bloodletting and are finally seeing through the Republican Karl Rove slash and burn tactics. I know I for one am extremely tired of it. As a nation, and a people, we deserve better.<< Asymmetric - I hope you are correct. Or, if the American electorate isn't quite ready to reject that kind of politics, I hope that the Obama campaign will be able to keep itself above the fray, while still responding to the distortions in a timely way. - Allen

My only hope is that the American electorate is finally tired of this type of cynical bloodletting and are finally seeing through the Republican Karl Rove slash and burn tactics I don't know. Americans always seem to be up for a good knife fight - the bloodier the better. Politics as circus. Politicians as gladiators. As Ben Franklin said: "You can always count on Americans to do the right thing - after they've tried everything else." Freekin' swing voters. How do you tailor a campaign for the feeble-minded?
