This is so typical of the liberal/Democratic campaign strategy.

Make you personal attacks first, then complain when there is a personal attack response.  It is just like the high school.  Do it first, the injured person reacting is always the one punished.  This type of behavior should embarrass all parties involved.  The Democrats for starting it.  The Republicans for replying in kind.  Worst of all is Powell for weighing in late with blinders on.
