What's your opinion on Democratic opposition research? [View All]

[Missy Vixen]

We go through this every election season. The Democratic Party wants to take the high road. (Well, at least till Howard Dean got in there and started breaking a few dishes.) They just can't do the oppo research the Republicans do. It wouldn't be "seemly". After all, it's mean, right?

I just got done reading this thread, http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=389x1009971 and I have a few questions.

How dedicated is the Democratic Party to going after a few of these R candidates with the truth this time? On the strength of the OP's comments, IMHO, YMMV, but a strong offense may finish this man's candidacy before he even gets started.

Should we encourage the national party to do so?

I'd like to hear what you think about it.
