First, I’d like to compliment Brian at Iowa Voice for his post on this issue, which I think is pretty definitive. Only one minor quibble I have with it: a few people are attacking Fox beyond discussing how misleading the ad was, the merits of his argument, etc, but the vast majority are not. So on the whole, Brian is right on that point.
Sheesh. The Democrats are already acting like they’ve won, and the damn votes haven’t even been cast yet!
A few new polls were released this morning and here’s the latest, per Real Clear Politics:
ABC’s Mark Halperin and his team have a primer. Here’s a sneak peek:
Last week’s loser of the week Rep. Harold Ford, Jr., who is in a tight race with Republican Bob Corker for Bill Frist’s Senate seat, stepped in it again today with the admission that he did indeed attend a Playboy party – something he had previously denied. All of this makes this Corker ad all the more humorous – and right on target. Ford’s defense? He said “I like football and I like girls” (I think it was a SuperBowl party). That’s all well and good, of course, but when you’re a Representative in the US Congress, you’re supposed to act like one.
