According to this article found om MSNBC news site, Democrats have decided to target the personal lives of Republicans.
"It is attack and distract," said Maureen Donovan, a spokeswoman for GOP Rep. John E.Sweeney.
Former Republican National Committee chairman Ed Gillespie said Democrats are dangerously close "to overreaching" in their attacks, risking a political backlash like the one that damaged Republicans after they pushed for the impeachment of President Bill Clinton over the Monica S. Lewinsky scandal in 1998. Democratic operatives said they are aware of this possibility but are calculating that, as long as the attacks are at the local level, they will not backfire.
I have read this entire article and this is the most juvenile attempt to win votes that I have seen to this date. Does this mean that Dems can't argue the issues, so they have to dazzle voters with gossip, innuendo, and half-truths instead of logical debate?
