The Eerie Election:
The run-up to next Tuesday’s election is getting weirder by the day. First I found this NY Times story which has corporate America pouring donations into to the coffers of Democratic candidates in a classic case of trying to befriend the winning team before the opening pitch. At the same time, the Washington Post reports (via Davenetics) that Republicans are leaning on the last remaining crutches of the desperate. “It’ll be worse with the other guys!”
I fail to see how it could.
Meanwhile, from Bob Garfield’s blog at Advertising Age, the ads the Republican National Committee are running against Tennessee Senate candidate Harold Ford, who (no points here), is black.
That may be the slimiest thing I’ve ever seen. And I’ve been to a sploshing party.
