McCain has gone negative.  He's gone over to the dark side, using the very fear-and-smear playbook that was used against him in 2000 by Karl Rove.
 
The GOP has used this playbook to defeat Governor Dukakis, Vice President Gore, Senator Kerry, and now they're targeting Senator Obama.
 
The ONLY Democrat to withstand the GOP slime juggernaut -- to come out on top, victorious -- was Bill Clinton.  He is the only Democrat to successfully run that gauntlet, and his wisdom is needed now more than ever.
