Why are democrats preparing smear campaigns for everyone even in consideration for vice president?

Question

can't they just focus on building up their candidate and refrain from smarmy mudslinging. or are they that desperate.

they must not have much faith in Obama

Answer 1

Well, Obama's VP has quite a few non PC moments caught on tape so they will have to make the others look worse compared to their bad choice.

Answer 2

  That's all the democrats have: lies and smears. Their positions on the issues and beliefs are just plain wrong. The US doesn't need more taxes, it needs less spending and tax cuts. The US must win the War on Terror not lose it.

Answer 3

Because thats politics, for everyone not just obama. Its a real dirty game

Answer 4

I haven't heard that they are. Do you have a site on that?

Didn't think so.
