Just a political reality note about the timing of the announcement: do you think that if the situation was reversed, and Democrats were holding this sort of thing over Republicans, that they would wait until AFTER the enemy's convention?
Politics is a dirty game and ALL (I repeat ALL) of its players have mud caked on them. We get so caught up in the "poor Bill Clinton" syndrome that we forget that his camp would dish the same back at the Republicans, if they had comparable dirt. Who do you think brought out the George W. Bush cocaine-use issue?
