LAT boosts Democrats

The LAT tries, at least. The LAT's Kathleen Hennessey writes in today's newspaper that Democrats seem to be successful in painting Republican opponents as extremists by exposing embarrassing comments made during campaigns or in earlier life -- Christine O'Donnell's reference to witches in her early life or her arguing against masturbation while appearing on MTV, for example.

But George Will explains in today's Orange County Register that this isn't new and he argues that Democrats stoop to such tactics because they can't run on their records -- Obamacare and the stimulus aren't selling. Will points out that there is "precedent for mainstream media being megaphones for Democratic-manufactured hysteria."
