So you don't think they will swift-boat the Republicans this year if they deem it necessary?
Also, what is the difference between swift-boating and this ad?

The ad you list is perfectly legitimate. It is not Swift-boating. Swift boating is total gutter politics. It would be like me just standing up and calling you some shit just because I feel like it. I could call you a pedophile, a terrorist sympathizer, a homosexual, whatever. Anything. Bush and his buddies already Swiftboated McCain (in 2000 when McCain first ran for President) when they basically said that he was brain-washed by the Vietcong and is a Vietnamese puppet, that his wife is a self-medicating crack whore and that McCain was having an affair with a black woman outside of his marriage to Cindy.
THAT is Swiftboating.
