So yes, Republicans play the same games and are often much worse. But the way they do it is infinitely better than the way Democrats do. What do you think works better: An anonymous phone call poll asking people what they think about Palin's underage daughter being pregnant, or some half-retarded wonk running around message boards posting every odd rumor he sees on the web.

Nothing wrong with attacking, just do it smart.
