This is how it's done.

When your political opponent openly gives up talking about the current financial crisis to instead launch into 100 percent wingnut-email-chainletter mode, talking about how your candidate may have been in the same room once with a former Weather Underground agent (who was last active in that role when your guy wasn't even ten years old), how should you strike back?

Maybe produce a really slick video forging some rather more solid connections between the other guy and the last recession-triggering financial blowout the country had to trudge through, and then wrap a website around it?

Yes, that's a good start.

In related news, I'm feeling pretty goshdarn confident about next month. This isn't like it was last time. Remember when we were all rallying around "Need some wood?" Christ.

you tube has posted an annoying-as-fsck error message over the front of this vid. You might wish to adjust your URL. Or tell us that youtube is changing the content and to watch out for their annoying butts.

The target is the undecideds. Who I am not entirely convinced exist, but everyone seems to agree that they do, and I suppose that it is not entirely unreasonable to expect them to watch 13-minute youtubes in their Quest to Decide.

The wooe thing was a bit of fooiishness around a lame joke that Bush made during a 2004 debate.
