I guess if my candidate were anchored with G. W. Bush’s legacy of failure, I would be reduced to fear mongering the other candidate too.

Note to media: Americans care about the war in Iraq, Health Care affordability and oil dependency. This crap doesn’t even register. Do your damn jobs for a change.
