Everyone says that Bush and Pat Robertson played dirty during the presidential primaries in SC in 2000, but I’ve rarely heard convincing specifics tying either to the spread of false rumors about McCain. Rod, do you have evidence that Robertson put that Bob Jones U. professor up to saying what he did? Or other specifics? Whatever sleazy tactics may have been used, it should be noted that Bush won because he convinced SC GOP voters that he was a tax-cutting conservative and McCain wasn’t–however much McCainiacs would like to believe a more sinister explanation.
