The most effective negative campaigning is disclosure of real bullying going on to intimidate political speech and donations. The Chicago Way in action and the real face of Obama is in the ways the Democrats are smearing Frank Vandersloot a large donor to Romney's SuperPAC. The RNC should use this to answer the WaPo's silly piece calling Romney a bully based on a fuzzy report of an incident from 50 years ago in his high school years.

Proof, if we needed any, that the government is too damn big. I remember thinking years ago that we were spend money on "consultants" without ever questioning their fees, when all they do is turn out wordprocessed documents in nice covers that were mostly just the same research lifted from their computers with a little editing to make them look like they were specially drafted.
