All In The Game

The TNGOP chides Jimmy Naifeh for asserting that dropping a “poison packet” including allegedly expunged records in the mail to a candidate’s wife is just “part of a campaign”:

Question: What exactly is the beef with what Jimmy Naifeh is saying here? Are Republicans saying that they have never used opposition research to intimidate a candidate out of the race? That they wouldn’t if they could? If the Democrats indeed came by the info honestly, as they say they did, what is the problem?

Jimmy Naifeh’s suggestion that this is “just part of a campaign” is based on a certain set of facts he subscribes to — that Keith Talley, Democratic operative, got the records from the Wilson County Courthouse and then dropped them on Jason Mumpower’s desk.

Assuming Naifeh’s assumptions, not the TNGOP’s, does he not have a point?
