I was watching the news from Memphis tonight. The anchor said that the controversial ad was pulled. Immediately after the report, the commercial aired again!
Update: The ad appeared on the 10 0'clock news on WREG-TV Channel 3...The anchor is Claudia Barr. Immediately after her report, the ad aired again. She said the ad was pulled and then went to commercial and that ad aired yet again! It's like the Twilight Zone here with non-stop negative ads!
Immediately following the "bimbo" ad there was a Corker ad introducing his wife. He said, "I approve this message because I wanted to introduce you to my wife." It's obvious what the Republicans are doing...."Ford is an immature playboy and Corker is the mature family man." They aren't making it about his race in my opinion.
Calling this ad racist is what will hurt his campaign. Most people here don't think the ad is racist. They think Ford is playing the "race card." This type of talk doesn't work in Tennessee.
Harold Ford, Jr. doesn't help himself by appearing at Playboy parties. His appearance at Corker's press conference also looked bad to most people I've talked to. I didn't like that myself. It made him look immature.
I think Tennessee is a lost cause. I've lived here my entire life and I believe people here are brain-washed! I have never seen anything like it. There is no getting through to these people. I give up!
