The stink of fear: gravel-voiced Democratic insider Susan Estrich forewarns that her party is going to drive the presidential campaign straight for the gutter with a litany of personal assaults on President Bush and Vice President Cheney.
Are you shocked? Not fair? Who said anything about fair? Remember President Dukakis? He was very fair. Now he teaches at Northeastern University. John Kerry has been very fair in dealing with the Swift Boat charges. That's why so many of my Democrat friends have decided to stop talking to the campaign, and start putting money together independently.The arrogant little Republican boys who have been strutting around New York this week, claiming that they have this one won, would do well to take a step back. It could be a long and ugly road to November.

The appropriate response, of course, is "Bring it on." But steel yourself; the next sixty days will be unprecedented in political brutality.
