You know what I find really really reeeeeeeeeeeeeally interesting right now?

88. What you describe is the very strategy used by failing Democratic politicians for decades.

Kerry sat back, let the Swiftboaters expose themselves, then brought out a ton of evidence proving them to be liars.

Too late. The meme had set in. The lies could never be unlearned.

If Romney is doing what you say, then he is just shooting himself in the foot. If Romney shows his tax returns after stating that he would not, that means he is caving in to Democratic demands. This makes Romney look weak. And the single most important attribute for a presidential candidate in the United States is looking strong.

A picture surfaced of Gary Hart with a woman sitting on his lap. Okay. I have had plenty of people whom I have never fucked sit on my lap. So what?

Hart drops out of the presidential campaign. Then a poll emerges showing that his numbers increased after he was attacked over the photograph. So he jumps back into the campaign. His numbers take a nosedive. Because he showed weakness. I know. I am one of the people who supported Hart before and after the picture, but dropped my support because of his weak response.

Gennifer Flowers claims to have slept with Bill Clinton. Bill Clinton responds, "yeah, we fucked." Clinton's numbers go through the roof. Again, I am one of those people. I was not a Clinton supporter prior to Gennifer Flowers. But his handling of that, particularly in contrast to Hart's mishandling, made me a Clinton supporter.
