If you want to understand why U.S. presidential politics can be such a dirty business, and how John McCain could yet turn around a White House race in which he is now the clear underdog, I have a suggestion. Go and see a documentary .. called "Boogie Man: the Lee Atwater Story" ...

http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/opinion/381969_boogeymano...

I can't excerpt this well. And most of you DUers already understand this. But read it anyway. It won't take you that long and you better understand this viscerally (not just intellectually) if you want to win: Some very nasty crap will be coming down the road soon
