American politics is replete with examples where a protracted campaign battle was waged and the forever “likable” candidate was dragged down to Earth faster than a falling star.

Democrats are experts at employing this strategy — it’s how they destroyed George W. Bush and Sarah Palin. Sure, Bush and Palin did themselves no favors. But do not kid yourselves: the campaigns against them were engineered from the moment they walked onto the national political stage.

Republicans can bring the campaign war to American’s television sets, which have generally avoided in-depth investigations into Solyndra and Fast & Furious. Republicans can shed light on Obama’s distortions, cover-ups and questionable associations. It will be like shooting fish in a barrel, fish that ironically received a $500 million guaranteed loan from the Department of Energy.

Republicans need to burst the ignorance bubble perpetuated by Obama’s media royal guards. It’s already beginning to burst and Republicans have the ability to speed that process along.
