I would give the same advice (if there's any real proof such campaigning actally works). I'm skeptical of that however. I think people definetely do buy a lot of bull shit, but I think there's a limit to that, especially in California.

If people want to make this a big issue DISCREETLY, by spreading it via tabloids, etc...then that's fine. I just think that by acting like this is a serious issue, we're wasting time.

Your general analyis is correct however. If lies are necessary so be it. Playing dirty is definetely necessary to some extent (Gray Davis has proven it effective in the past), but there is always a limit. Limbaugh and his likes are effective because they believe everything they say, and are driven by idealogy. I just think that with the likes of Arnold and Bush, there are are so many skeletons in ther closets, and they spew so many lies, such extremely desperate tactics may not be necessary, and possibly counterproductive.
