Harold already has the reputation for knocking sistas over in the street to get to white women, period. As a sista, I say he's free to date whomever he wants, regardless of race, but my position would be that he's with them because of the usual things that attract two people to each other, apart from race.<BR/><BR/>Sometimes the brothers make it damned difficult for sistas to love them, and if a sista starts dating interracially, it's not because she doesn't like Black men, nor does it mean she's given up on them, either.<BR/><BR/>But to some sistas, Harold is basically saying Black Women aren't good enough for him, and that might translate into pissing off his base. However, he still has two weeks to overcome this...unless Senior and Jake tie a bow on the crap package that does him in...<BR/><BR/>Corker just reminded East Tennessee that Harold's a Black Man, and unless he really wants to play the "high-tech lynching" card that Clarence Thomas made famous 15 years ago, he needs to go home to West Tennessee and shore up his base, kiss the asses of Black Women everywhere and promise his firstborn to get that Senate seat.The Christian Progressive Liberalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04445662404937684518noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9102867.post-1161777653374910972006-10-25T07:00:00.000-05:002006-10-25T07:00:00.000-05:00I agree with PD about the ad.

I think the ad might have even blunted some of the fallout from the Wilson Air confrontation, because it is a truly tasteless ad.autoegocrathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03726708889208600414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9102867.post-1161743303462796302006-10-24T21:28:00.000-05:002006-10-24T21:28:00.000-05:00Is too much influence given to this ad?

Perhaps this would have happened even if this commercial never was aired? Many have argued rural whites weren't going to vote for Jr anyway. Faced with the media saying Jr really could win, have rural voters finally thrown their support behind Corker? <BR/><BR/>I think Jr has been really hurt by Jake and Sr, his stunt at the airport, pissing off progressives, and most importantly that cover on Newsweek. While everybody thought it was help from heaven, I think it actually hurt. Voters in Tennessee could easily feel that the media had crowned Jr the next Senator from Tennessee. People don't like being dictated too by some magazine from out of state. Plus, the title "Not his daddy's Democrat", that just reminds everyone he's a Ford. After hearing about Jake, Sr, Ophelia, and John, how many voters said to themselves "Jr's not that much different from his daddy." That's what makes the stunt at the airport even more of a disaster. <BR/><BR/>In the end, Harold being a Ford got him the Democratic nomination, but it will be a hinderance in the general election. Also, race and the Harvey Gantt effect will play a substantial part.polar donkeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15593284213899478126noreply@blogger.com
