54. Exactly, ANY candidate can have sludge thrown. We will just have to handle as it comes.

I remember Gary Hart and his problems and yes the GOP is going to pull some very dirty stunts. The GOP worked a deal with Iran before the 1980 election and Jimmy Carter was defeated by Ronald Reagan and that was a shame. Dirty rotten politics. Nixon pulled the Watergate break in and though Nixon was elected he was pulling dirty stunts. The GOP worked their asses off to keep Bill Clinton in continuous scandal but Bill still did his job despite the GOP efforts. President Obama has worked very hard and the GOP has worked overtime to destroy him even having McConnell say he was going to work to make sure Obama did not have a second term. We can choose to follow the RW trash talking or we can choose to work hard for our candidates to be elected.
