Slash-and-burn politics of the Democrat Party

An anti-McDonnell website is being funded with $100,000 from the Democrat Governors Association, according to The Washington Post. Instead of promoting their candidate, the Democrat governors are pouring money into a blog to trash the Republican candidate:

A new Virginia-based political action committee created to attack Republican gubernatorial nominee Robert F. McDonnell debuted today, unveiling its new Web site and accusing the state's former attorney general of "not accurately portraying himself."

Bob McDonnell's campaign responded to the news:

"Bob McDonnell is talking about creating new jobs and bringing Virginians together," said J. Tucker Martin, the spokesman for McDonnell. "National Democrats are importing the politics of fear and division. The contrast is stunning."

Sounds as if the Democrats plan to continue with the same old, same old ... except this year the winds of change are in the air. Americans are sick of slash-and-burn politics. Will there be a backlash against the Democrat candidates?
