Halfdan -- Yeah, I saw that sometime today, but don't remember where or when (I only had the TV one for Studio 60, I thought... but I had to have had it on, earlier). Funny ad.
Did you see this? I'm hoping there's a clip of that floating around... it pretty much seems to verify what Jr.'s sayin' in this ad. .
I have it from my RSS aggregator, though; will look on CNN for a transcript:
Ron Brownstein, political reporter for the LA Times, last night got it right on CNN when talking about the ultra-negativity of Bob Corker and the RNC. He got it right by saying that Harold Ford is talking about issues and changing the course while Corker goes personal. He also got it right that Camille Anderson, the RNC operative who said no way is the RNC going to pull down its latest and lowest attack, travels with Corker and is by his side most every day. Does that smack of coordination between the Corker camp and the RNC?
LA Times reporter Ron Brownstein last night on CNN: "Harold Ford's big argument is change. Change the course. Especially in Iraq, Bob Corker raising a lot of personal issues"
"I was down in Tennessee and wrote about it in the LA Times today. Look, this is a race that's growing more acrimonious on both sides. This Republican National Committee ad truly is extraordinary. Politics gets tougher ever two years. This is as tough as it gets. They have a hunter saying that Harold Ford wants to take their gun away. The National Rifle Association says they have no objection to Harold Ford. There's a racial question about this ad, about using a white woman to dramatize the charge about him attending a party at the Playboy sponsored by Playboy at the Super Bowl a few years ago. That's going to be some tough questions. They spent a lot of effort, trying to court African-Americans. I wonder if he would feel comfortable at his next time.
”He said he went to the RNC, he said he asked them to pull the ads. The congressman saying that oh, no, my opponent travels with this lady.
”It's true. The person quoted in the newspaper in Tennessee saying that the Republican National Committee would not pull the ad is the same person that travels and talks to the press on behalf of Bob Corker every day. So the whole thing looks a little disingenuous.
”There are a couple other ads.
”There's lots of them. When you look at Tennessee you see many of the common themes. Harold ford's big argument is change. Change the course. Especially in Iraq, Bob Corker raising a lot of personal issues and also trying to tie Harold Ford to the national Democratic party which is less popular in Tennessee, a state that's been moving toward Republicans in the last decade." CNN, 10/22/06
More: Once again, when is Bob going to explain his relationship with Camille Anderson? Bob said he could have no contact with the RNC regarding the nasty ad they have running against Ford, however, it has been revealed that Mrs. Anderson travels with Corker every day and just yesterday she was the one who commented that the ad would not be taken down.
Okay it's back up now with a 12:59AM timestamp... In any case I truly wonder how much of all this gets back to the voters, or if it's all just insider stuff.
... and since you've never seen him, allow me to introduce Curly. :) He moves around and makes blurry pixels, sometimes.

Care to explain all this Bob?
