I smell desperation. This is the same crap that was pulled on me when I was running ahead in the polls against my GOP opponent. I experienced the joys of “midnight flyers” posted on doors which called me a homosexual, (then there were attacks from religious types because I was divorced!)questions about my meager personal finances and contributors, the blatant lies of the “Christian” Coalition voter guides, a formal investigation to the state Ethics Commission and more personal smears then you can shake a stick at. There is no depth to which Republicans will not sink to hold onto power.

In a Pivotal Year, GOP Plans to Get Personal

EXCERPT:
Republicans are planning to spend the vast majority of their sizable financial war chest over the final 60 days of the campaign attacking Democratic House and Senate candidates over personal issues and local controversies, GOP officials said.

The National Republican Congressional Committee, which this year dispatched a half-dozen operatives to comb through tax, court and other records looking for damaging information on Democratic candidates, plans to spend more than 90 percent of its $50 million-plus advertising budget on what officials described as negative ads.
