Look, I’m all for seeing as much critiques of our candidates as possible. I want this race to be a real race (which is why I want Newt or Santorum to win Florida – If Romney wins, I think he’s got too many states in the bag later on, between VA, IL, and others for anyone else to catch up). But slanderous attacks that have little to no basis in facts just make the attacker look bad. Keep it honest so we can see our candidates respond with real strength, or not.

Oh, and every public official responsible should have their name tarnished by the case.
