How did Rove not think of a "3am Call" type video?

Man that poor guys cred is just slipping away. When your entire repertoire consists of lie, cheating, and scaring and some "liberal" campaign honchos who couldn't keep it together enough to even get the presumptive next President a party's nomination and THEY trump you in your playing field, God how that must suck.

Both videos are here.

Disgusting. In my personal opinion. Its okay to say what you are going to do. It is fine to point out mistakes that the other "guy" has done but claiming to know what the future holds and how exactly YOU will react (regardless of KNOWING how anyone else would react) is complete bullshit. IMHO.

Couple this with the "oh woe is me the media won't declare me the winner anymore now that people are voting" crap I'm sorry but Hillary is running a Republican campaign. Scare and cry. This does it for me.

1. Rove didn't need to think about it because the Democrats had used it already
Mondale used an almost identical ad in 1984 to suggest Gary Hart wasn't ready for the big chair.

Humphrey and Muskie tried a similar ad targeting Spiro Agnew in 1968 as well.

It's a long standing smear, but it's a uniquely Democratic smear.

2. OBL audio and video tapes miraculously appeared every single time Kerry's poll
numbers overtook *'s so they didn't have to pay for the fear mongering.
