The point has been brought up, if Kerry and Edwards were truly trying to just bash the other side they could discuss W's daughters drinking and legal problems, his neice's drug abuse and legal problems BUT THEY don't. Neither do the Dems or anyone. Why? Because that would be hurtful and mean spirited and uncalled for.

2) As I put it above, I don't really see the hypocrisy.
3) I really, really doubt this was their motive. I don't doubt that they want this to be
seen as their motive.
I think they picked this route because of your #3, because they thought they could easily disguise it as compassionate, rather than purely political. But the Bush daughters drinking? Clearly that would be a politically motivated low blow.
I don't think it will work as well as they hoped, though.
