It is the classic Rove strategy dating back to his campaign for Bush for governor in Texas spreading rumors that his opponent was a lesbian..and Bush's campaign in 2000, spreading rumors about McCain and an illegitimate child of "color"...and his surreptitious connection to the Swift Boaters in 2004.
And I understand why..it has been successful for them in the past. The difference this year, from lessons learned from the past, is that the Obama campaign and surrogates are hitting back hard.
