This Is Pathetic

I was doing my morning reading rounds over at Blogs for Bush, and they link to a story at Battle Born Politics. It seems that all of a sudden a woman has come out and accused the Republican candidate of abusing her and sending death threats to her family. Here is part of the police report:

The investigation into this incident ceased when Mazzeo signed a Request for No Prosecution form. Until that time, Violent Crimes detectives were not able to substantiate Mazzeo's allegation of Battery. Detectives were unable to locate any independent witnesses to a physical confrontation between Gibbons and Mazzeo. There is no video surveillance of the incident. Mazzeo gave no indication as to how she received the scratches on her shoulder and back. From the time Mazzeo made the initial call to dispatch under Event 061013-3534 until she was contacted by police under Event 061013-3774, it is unknown where she was or what happened to her. No evidence exists to prove the scratches Mazzeo had were caused during the alleged incident. Mazzeo admitted to Detective Colon she had been drinking prior to the incident. This is confirmed by Julie Vick, the food server for that evening and Gibbons. During Mazzeo's conversations with dispatch she sounds to be intoxicated. Gibbons admits he grabbed Mazzeo in the parking lot only after she tripped and almost fell.

Wouldn't it be refreshing if the Democrats would campaign on the issues, actually debate what is important in America right now, rather than trying to win with smears and lies? Geez, these people make me sick. One of the commenters is right, it's sad that this election is even close.
