Seems to me that the racist ad against Ford should work in TN. Likewise
the "macaca" statement and Allen's bigoted background should help him in VA. I believe Republicans in the south have been winning this way for a long time.
They focus group this stuff I'm sure. Tennessee is not alone. Here in liberal Massachusetts the Republican Lt Gov Healey based her campaign on fear-mongering and race-baitng
What do you think are the chances that Mitt Romney could have coincidentally used the term Tar-baby the same month as Tony Snow.
All the more important to prove them wrong and make them pay
the racist ad. Anyone who habors those mysoginist feelings wouldn't be voting for Ford anyway. It's unlikely that any FOrd supporter would suddenly change their mind because of this ad. (OHMYGODOHMYGOD! Ford might want to date a white woman. I can't vote for him now!) All this did was expose the Repugs for the desperate racists that they are.
Ford may have an opportunity to turn it in his favor. And it looks like he's working hard on that. But if Ford did nothing, I am sure this would have been a great ad for Corker.
That dung eating swill merchant, corrupt ass Corker was desperate to go for these measures and now Tenneseans are ashamed about the farce that this throwback to reconstruction has caused in their state.
I'm in regular contact with a Tennesean(a fellow democrat who is more conservative then I) and the is what he tells me is the reality on the ground.
