The Washington Post's Chris Cillizza, who almost surely would privately admit he's a progressive/liberal and an Obama supporter, says Republican attempts to link Obama to disgraced Illinois governor Rod Blagojevich could backfire on them.
He suggests that, instead, because polls show the country to be rather pro-Obama right now, that the GOP should just seek to work with him.
Does it surprise you that those critical of Republicans and conservatives oppose our aggressive tactics? I think mainly what Republicans are doing is asking Obama to live up to his stated principles of being honest and forthcoming. They're holding him accountable. Nothing wrong with that. If there's truly nothing to this story, then Blagojevich will soon go away and so will the story. Meanwhile, we thank our progressive friends for being so concerned that Republican tactics might be too harsh, but relax. We'll be fine.
