How Low Can You Go
This is how desperate and how low the Massachusetts Democrats are willing to go. This is the Democrat Party mailer Scott Thomas is suing over. I realize that political operatives from both parties have often believed in the effectiveness of such negative campaigns, but it has appeared to me that they rarely work. Such action assume that the voters are stupid to believe such extreme statements. What such statements really say is that the candidate distributing such vile tripe has absolutely no compelling reason for you to vote for her.
I doubt if I am alone.
Charlie Munger has said to “invert, always invert.” This is exactly what you did when you considered what this ad says about Coakley instead of Brown. It will be interesting to see what happens if Brown ends up winning.
