With all the money Barack is raising, I think he can afford to create a "Swift Boat Task Force" with the sole job of quashing and debunking the smears, lies, and slime that the Republicans are going to promulgate. Read this short post for a perfect example. Not only should the task force rebut and unmask the wrongs, but they should also affirmatively attack the perpetrators, exposing and shaming them in the public sphere -- remember how effective Welch was in finally confronting and shaming Joe McCarthy? Along with this, Obama needs to keep on the high road as he did in the primaries. With the task force shoving these jokers onto the stage, ugly and naked, the comparison with BO's campaign will be compelling to decent Americans.
