I was talking with my sis the other day about what the GOP should do. We both agreed HUMOR is our best weapon.

First, libs can't take a joke.
Second, they're so easy to lampoon!

Finally, it plays well with the base. I think maybe the best ad of all time was the Club for Growth ad against Howard Dean:

---a farmer says Dean should take his "tax-hiking, government-expanding, latte-drinking, sushi-eating, Volvo-driving, New York Times-reading ...".

The farmer's wife then finishes the sentence: "... Hollywood-loving, left-wing freak show back to Vermont, where it belongs."

Today I would add: "terrorist-coddling".

Wow, thanks.

He's one of Ford's "good friends."

This must be what they mean when they say they're not going negative with campaign ads.

"He DOES look good on T.V."

LOL!!!

That young man is smooth on TV or radio!
Smooth enough to get about 46% of the vote on 11-7!

In that litte stunt Ford pulled yesterday, he said something about Corker's ad "about my looks". I had no idea what he was talking about. Was it racial? Egads!

Now I know he was referring to this ad. Bad move on Ford's part. Voters---especially Southerners---don't like bad sports.

Now, here's a guy that the DemocRATS should be hyping instead of Obama if looks are their primary criteria.

Harold Ford, Jr. is a cutie! Doesn't mean I would vote for the dude because he clearly shows his arrogance but ...

He does look good on television!

Not from Tenn but Ford isn't as bad as the rest of the dims. You can see he would like to espouse a more conservative line but the leadership won't allow. I still think he'll lose and that's a good thing.

That's a great ad, makes a few simple points and BOOM - Ford looks like a jerk.

Harold Ford, Jr. for Mayor of Memphis. If it was good enough for Elvis, it is good enough for Harold. He would probably be a great mayor.

I dunno, Mayor? Maybe.

I was thinking Dog Catcher or Meter Maid, but mayor might be within his capabilities.

If he gets a lot of help.

Looks like the strategy is to turn him into a cartoon character - which is essentially what he is: http://www.gopsenators.com/video/?ID=8EAD0CB1-EE47-4B69-87B6-FDC0CE56C9C4
