Campaign officials confirm Obama's Chicago-based organization has begun combing through the former Pennsylvania senator's background looking for possible lines of attack. It also emailed Obama's Pennsylvania supporters this past week asking for material that could be used against Santorum in upcoming speeches and ads.
I can't say exactly why this bothers me, but I find it a bit creepy. Of course, I know what his opponents have done and will continue to do, so...
Depends on what it's about about whether it's creepy.
Santorum came up in politics in the Young Republican / dirty trick school, as I understand it. I think that's all fair game. Once he was in Congress and the Senate, anything he did (votes, etc) seems to me fair game.
That is, if what this is about is going over his political record with a fine-tooth-comb, I don't see it as being problematic. Do you?
