You can see the ad at the following link. Just click on the little red camera symbol on the left.

It's only 30 seconds and well worth the time to see what caused this uproar.

The RNC and DNC can be particularly unhelpful in 'local' races when the don't understand the local culture and sensibilities. The ad was both tacky and funny, tho.

A lot of campaign ads are tacky. I didn't know this was news.

[unspun]

Corker is showing real substance in this campain -- and Ford is showing himself to be dishonest and insecure.

I heard Corker yesterday morning on the Steve Gill show. To be honest he was giving bland, round about answers to the questions presented. The cliches he was spewing were either a sign that he's ahead and playing it safe or he was an idiot. I hope it's the former.

That site has another story on Harold's uncle and his child support defaults that brought him to court yet again. Tell me why a man who made over 200G last year can't afford $1900 a month to support his child? He owes money to every woman he's had children with.

Corker should have just "no comment" on the ad.

[Quicksilver]

Really stupid stunt!

Ford Jr. shows up at Corker event uninvited

[jdub]

this is a great ad!!! i've been laughing at it all night on local tv. cant believe Corker would denounce it. Then again, after a couple of days it will have its effect anyway.

Says he wants to debate Mr. Corker, says he can't ever find Mr. Corker. They are both all over the state campaigning and it is easy to find them as they do press releases of where they are going to be every day...duh you don't do political debates in private parking lots with only a very few to witness it. They've had 2 TV debates with a third coming up in a few days, when JUNIOR as he is called by his constituents could have asked his burning questions. Political debates are done on TV where the most views can be found, not parking lots. A Priceless Video link (PS the site is overloaded)

I love it! It's bad, tacky and hilarious.

[Checkers]

funny ad

[Quicksilver]

Wow! What an idiot!

[Ingtar]

"Harold! Call me!" at the end might be a bit over the top. After all, he hasn't been CAUGHT yet, has he? The rest of it pretty well represents Harold.

[Lancey Howard]

LOL, great ad!

I'm glad to see the Republicans are fighting hard, even if spineless simpletons like Corker don't have the guts to stand up and fight for themselves. Corker should be grateful to the RNC, and he should ask Ford if there's anything about the ad that's not true.

Instead of laughing at Ford and thanking the RNC, Corker runs from the local liberal newsrooms like a scared bunny rabbit and goes on the defensive. He may have just killed himself, politically. Shame.... Wasn't there a conservative in the primary who lost out to this clown Corker?

Tennessee Republicans have nobody to blame but themselves.

Pretty funny ad. You want to see tacky. The ads the desperate DNC is running against J.D. Hayworth here in Arizona are tacky. Got one of the Udalls (The west's equivalent to the Kennedys.) blaming the fact she has Lupus on J.D. Hayworth. J.D. vote against embryonic stem cell research and because of that vote, a Udall has Lupus. Don't get no more tacky than that.
