Taylor Marsh says: "...Harold Ford, Jr. is up against it. The Republican Party's Southern Strategy of 2006, that is. A blonde and an African American, hinting of inter-racial dating in a conservative state. What will Tennessee do? Mehlman and the Republican Party intend to help voters figure it out.
Welcome to "Ken Mehlman's cesspool," as Matthews stated today. Russert interviewed Mehlman on it, too. Tony Snow joined Matthews later, saying the Harold Ford ad was just fine with him. He and Mehlman are wrong.
The ad is playing "the race card," said Bob Herbert. He went further stating that it's what Republicans do.
I'll make it even plainer. The Republican Party is revealing the racist vein that runs through their political soul. It's scraping the bottom of the barrel in a tight race Republicans feel they simply have to win. The Republican Party won't pull the ad and they won't disown it. So, it continues to play in Tennessee, which is the way they like it. It's race baiting, period..."
