The Year Of Playing Dirtier - washingtonpost.com:

"Even RNC Chairman Ken Mehlman said he is powerless to stop it; it is an 'independent expenditure' of the RNC, out of the committee's control. "

This is laughable. Does Mehlman have that much disrespect for the citizens of Tennessee and the USA that he thinks the voters don't know what he's really doing.

The ads are terrible. check out YouTube for your favorite races. It's brutal the negativity that's going on in these ads. Unfortunately it looks like the Dems are again behind the curve on this one. I'm not sure that it's a bad thing. The worst are the racist garbage that NRSC put up in Tennessee. Funny, but playing on the fears of Klan members everywhere with an up front display of miscegination. It's a good sign that they are forced to do that, meaning that they are desperate. If Corker was ahead by twenty points they wouldn't even mention Ford's name

One more thing ... I saw a Google Bomb thing on GOP candidates with unflatering articles. I would highly recommend folks to look for it and pass it around.
