The Rep noise machine seems pretty predictable. My guess is that they would have spun a much milder criticism to the point that they could attack with it. But I'm just guessing; how did you get your data?
Have you seen them attack op-eds? They'd be very busy.
Additionally, without a specific name to defend and rally the flag around, they would be forced quickly into an "issue" debate which is NOT what they are looking to do. Thats not how they work.
