Identify the villains by party affiliation:

In a standard-issue news report on the 2005 elections, we read:
Both governors' races were marked by record-breaking spending and vicious personal attacks.

In Virginia, Kilgore's campaign ran an ad claiming Kaine, a death penalty opponent, would have refused to execute Adolf Hitler, while Forrester quoted Corzine's ex-wife as saying he had let down his family and he would let down New Jersey.
What party is Kilgore? Republican.
What party is Forrester? Republican.

Let's be clear what party is behind the "vicious personal attacks". (And yes, if Democrats do it, hold them to account as well.)

You are way to reality-based. It's the nastiness in politics we want to get rid of. And Democrats could theoretically be half of it. So relax and consume your media without such a tight sphincter.
