It seems that the DNC is asking party "trackers" to attend as many political events as possible to see if they can record some "macaca" moments for this fall. They are asking those who serve as trackers to make as many local campaign meetings, as possible, known to each other. Do any of you remember the man who doomed himself when he called a black man a term that his mother knew from being raised in Tunisia? It sure snatched defeat from the jaws of victory for Senator Allen in 2006.

Politics as usual.

One could just as easily call them "Swift Boat moments".

Sometimes, one of the parties will try to torpedo their own too -- like with John McCain's "black" child...

Did you read that link? It doesn't sound like it but usually you do. Just wondering.

I have had all kinds of requests from the RNC but they haven't asked me to tape the words of Dems at their campaign stops. I wonder why that is since they ask me for money all the time. They know that I am a good Republican but just don't ask for that kind of favor.

If true, and I don't doubt it, the DNC needs to be very careful. This type of thing can cut both ways.

Don't kid yourself. The Repubs are there recording DNC stuff too. Get real.
