John Kline is losing it

For the life of me I can't understand what John Kline is trying to accomplish. The only reasonable explanation, the only possibility that makes any sense at all, is that his polling shows that he is in serious trouble. How else can you explain yet another attack on one of Colleen Rowley's staff people? Kline keeps on hitting this guy with all sorts of ridiculous smears? "Hollywood liberal"? This is the guy who was given the responsibility to carry the nuclear football?

John Kline is the Republican incumbent in a Republican-leaning district, facing an opponent who quite frankly has had her miscues as a candidate. All he has to do is look good and take the high road. The fact that he is going so relentlessly negative, and against such stupid targets, means that something is very, very wrong in his campaign. He shouldn't be this desperate in August, but for some reason he is.
