The new national polls coming out will likely show the depressing effects of the Swift-Smear on Kerry’s numbers. I previously described the Rove’s Swift-Smear as an ingeniously timed attack that is at once pragmatic, preparatory and pre-emptive. I believe Rove achieved his goal of casting doubt on Kerry’s golden resume. Smear tactics almost always work to some degree because the public is powerfully drawn to scandal and the mass media feeds on this dynamic.

There is hardly any topic that will be off-limits for the right-wing hit squads so we should expect smears regarding everything from Kerry’s bachelor days to Teresa’s Cuba connections, to ….

Question: What approach to the Smears machine will you support financially, with your lobbying and volunteer activities?
