It's all in theDemocratic Party Policy Book !
Keep the press talking about anything against the opposition, trueor false, it distracts from the real issues, and prevents them from pointing out your weaknesses.
If there defending there candidate, they can't attack us !
If there is nothing to attack them with, make something up, and attribute it to a undisclosed source.
Remember that the truth doesn't matter, and no one will remember these charges after we win the election.
