This is one of those races that will determine the Senate; it's a dead heat at the moment.

Here is a lowbrow Ford ad. I love American politics.

Does intelligence matter? Wall Street J columnist: Bush has common sense.

Ouch on the attack ads.

Oh, my, Pure. Apologies here, I couldn't stomach the entire "Is Bush an Idiot?" clip.

i do love the part about Ford getting pornsters' support and lusting after white chicks..... tut tut. and attending Penn, besides.

leaving aside 'linguistic gaffes', i'm not convinced on the 'common sense' argument, though the man has a political sense (not overly sophisticated---bump the 'gay marriage' thing again).

Republicans are up in arms about the Ford ads (since it's a Republican ad and makes them look bad). Joe Scarborough went as far as calling the people who made the ads idiots. You have to wonder sometimes if it will ever go so far that people will retaliate against the people who put up these stupid things. They were saying that the polls indicated several races tightened after negative ads that seemed to backfire. I can only hope it eventually starts a trend.

I have to admit, I laughed at the first ad. As entertainment it's pretty solid.

Of course I've seen really entertaining commercials that were innefective for selling products.

The 2nd one was dull, but that heartstrings crap might work with the average voter.

The third was entertaining and on message. Best of the three.

I have yet to see a TN ad on tv that isn't a mudslinging one.
