Campaigning this Year
Ezra Klein has a nice post up comparing the level of rhetoric used in this campaign. Basically, Kerry campaigns on ideas, with a few attacks. And when he does attack, Kerry usually goes after policies (ie Iraq) and not his opponent personally. BC04's only campaign theme is John Kerry's character.
This post nicely sums up the political parties as of right now. Republicans are most interested in maintaining political power, Democrats are more interested in promulgating policies that benefit the US. While Dems talk of succeeding in places such as Iraq, the GOP compares their political opponents to the terrorists while pushing policies beneficial to political supporters.
