I wrote yesterday about the GOP's tactic of showcasing Democrats' primary campaign criticisms of Obama in an effort to broadcast division in the party.
Conservative activist Richard Viguerie, a McCain skeptic, today writes in the Hill newspaper that the GOP can't merely co-opt Hillary's message on Obama -- because it didn't work for her.
As it becomes more and more clear that the Republicans have nothing to run on, the campaign will get nastier and more personal, centered on Obama. As the real Halloween approaches, it will get worse and then continue until Election Day.
Fortunately for Obama, Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-N.Y.) has been hitting him with the Republican playbook for the past month or two, as she got more and more desperate. It didn't work for her, and I don't think it will work for Republicans.
