The ad is definitely race baiting, making a conscious point to have a white woman flirt with Ford in the ad. Maybe Jesse Helms' ad man is behind this one, good for Corker for repudiating it. That said, it'll probably work, it's Tennessee.
It's Tennessee??!? You need to read up on the history of the Volunteer State. From the East Tennessee Unionists to the present day, there's a lot of places in Tennessee that never bought into the Deep South Democratic racist pattern.
So if they had used a black chick instead of a white one, you'd be OK with it? I thought the whole ad was great, and everything in it was true. Corker is a pussy for running away from this. You're the one who sounds racist.
Good ad. Good for Corker to repudiate it (right, Karl?). It gets the point across on multiple levels — Ford is way too much of a flake to represent Tennessee in the Senate. Hopefully, it will work!
There are thousands and thousands of white women to are either married or have children by black men in Tennessee. No one here is going to believe that this ad is racist in any shape , form or fashion.
