negative campaign

Erik Schelzig runs down the role of opposition research in Tennessee politics:

Bredesen said he takes to heart the advice of his original political adviser, Joe Napolitan.

The campaign of state Senator Rosalind Kurita stands accused of copyright violation:

Safco said she was surprised when she got a negative campaign ad in the mail from Barnes’ opponent, Sen. Rosalind Kurita, that featured a familiar photo.

The autoegocrat goes upside the head of Tennessee Democratic Party Chair Gray Sasser for his anemic response to the negative campaign tactics of Nikki Tinker:

Carol Andrews, former communications director for candidate Harold Ford Jr., is justifiably drawing some criticism for her style. (Admittedly, it's a GOP blog.)

MSNBC political director Chuck Todd just now said that a McCain nomination nullifies Hillary Clinton's argument that she's tested and ready against the GOP attacks, because McCain won't run that kind of negative campaign against her. Seriously? That's the talking point against Clinton now? That the Republicans are going to play nice?

I laid in bed last night unable to sleep. I kept up with the news all day and I heard nothing about a possible plot by the squirrels to take out the SC transformers and, in doing so, sabotage Mike Awshucksabee's chances in the primary.

So, if there was nothing on the news, how did Thelonius know about it? It didn't make sense. I love the T. Rat, but he's not as well connected as he would lead you to believe and I just couldn't imagine how he became aware of the plot before the media.
