Regional political styles
From The Corner comes this link to The Stranger.
The entry talks about how the Democrats are losing because they aren't willing to fight as dirty as the Republicans.
I'd argue that the problem in this case is more regional than party-line-based: Southern politics is dirtier than northern politics.
If John Kerry wants to win he's going to have to adopt George W. Bush's campaign tactics--that means fighting dirty, Senator. Filthy fucking dirty.

I've seen accusations of all sorts of stuff over the last year to three years, Bush has been accused of all sorts of evil stuff.
Maybe the republicans are fighting with the gloves off and maybe they aren't. I don't watch TV so I wouldn't know. But how can someone have the impression that the dems have been wearing kid gloves up to now?
