For Political Junkies and Other Masochists
Posted by Bruce Barry on Tue, Sep 19, 2006 at 1:46 AM
Slate's ongoing political ad remix/dissection series aims its sights at Tennessee's U.S. Senate race with this entertaining recap and commentary. The fact that Bob Corker is successfully goading Harold Ford Jr. into defining himself through some of his most conservative positions calls to mind the time-tested political adage: When a Republican runs against a Republican, the Republican wins every time. Yes, Democrats need to be seen as tough and all that, especially in a state like Tennessee, but there's a point at which Ford has to give voters a better reason not to vote Republican than "I believe in the same things Republicans do."
