CarolC- I have to respectfully disagree with you when you say that only Republicans run nasty campaigns on the national level. I am going to assume that this is one of those "eye of the beholder" moments.

Beccy, you misquote me entirely. I didn't say the Democrats never do it. I said they suck at it, while the Republicans are quite good at it. When the Republicans do it, more often than not, it succeeds. When the Democrats do it, more often than not, it backfires.

I would suggest a more careful reading of my posts in the future, if you want to have an accurate understanding of what I am saying.
