It is the ABB phenomenon.
Bush is such a horrible, terrible, dirty rotten, no good president that anybody would be better than Bush.
The problem, when you start campaigning on the motto of 'we aren't the other guy' is that you fail to recognize that the people, no matter how stupid and misguided they are, want to see good, solid debate and discussion of issues.
The 'we aren't the other guy' approach makes the fatal assumption that the majority agrees that the issues fade to insignificance under the glare of the other guy's stupidity, incompetance and evilness.
WATOG has never worked in history, to my knowledge.
Now, it is exciting to watch DU fall into the same TRAP! that has killed so many other promising candidates. Let them do it.
