Ford v. Corker

One Senate race the media is covering strongly is the Tennessee race for the seat Dr. Bill Frist is leaving (it is the cover story in Newsweek this week). The race is between Republican Bob Corker and Democrat Harold Ford. Based on what I have seen, Ford is running a mostly issue-oriented campaign, while Corker's campaign has revolved around variations of "Ford is a party animal who loves porn (and terrorists) and banging white chicks". Case in point, Corker's latest TV ad:



Needless to say, the RNC is playing dumb on the ad. Campaign ad? What ad?

Elsewhere, Ford crashes a Corker event to debate him in person.

Two more weeks and all this insanity will be over.

UPDATE: Harold Ford has a new ad in response to this nonsense. It's pretty good.
