Duh! Ford made two major blunders -- rudely crashing Corker's press conference and playing the race card in the ad in which race played no part. I suspect he will be the first in a long line of loser to cry voter intimidation and fraud. I hope the margin is large enough for him to concede immediately and not drag this out.
I think a third mistake by Ford was his playing the Jesus card. He was on camera with a news microphone to his face, when he said, "I love my Jesus." He's been so over the top with it that it comes across as entirely phony, which turns people off.
I think it also makes people notice that here's this democrat invoking the name of God like some televangelist, yet Republicans aren't allowed to merely utter the name of God in public.
I'd say it's all backfiring on his sorry butt.
