I wanted Chambliss to lose. Having said that, and having run campaigns and news events all the way up to the Presidential race in a major State; especially in light of the Palin/turkey slaughter video; I wonder how these folks staff, specifically their media/message persons, keep their jobs. I see nothing worth chastisement in that video for anyone except for the folks that should have caught it. I don't think this is evidence of a pervert, and find the use of the term to be gratuitous. Trying to damn your opponents through these types of stretches, in the end, just damages you and the causes you are fighting for.

Chambliss is not a Larry Craig, or a Mark Foley. He should have been beat on the basis of factual issues, not weak attempts to paint him in an unsavory light based on this type of thing. Doing so means one is turning to Rove tactics. Be careful you don't become that thing which you so disdain. This is a time for cautious optimism in the political process, not Rovian style mudslinging based on specious issues.

Just my opinion.

All the best,

Mick
