I disagree. If the smear campaign is setup to attack a candidates qualities whether they play it non-chalant or respond aggressively, it is a no-win situation for the candidate. This is how the GOP smear campaigns are setup. In each case, a negative judgement is waiting in the wings.

If Kerry didn't respond to SBVT at all - this thread (or another one like it) would be about the lack of leadership qualities in Kerry because he can't defend himself.

It is a perpetual smear - used to hide from a failed record.
