Im sorry i think you misunderstood the point.
Rove's tactics attempted to discredit the bravery and patriotism of a guy that had served in combat and prop up Bush as some sort of defender of the country even though he dodged the draft.
How did that have anything to do with Clinton's tactics vs. Dole? I fail to see the connection.
