Ford vs. Corker Tidbits - #1

Where to begin?!This race has become such a media entity both locally and nationally. Here are a few tidbits ahead to whet our appetite ahead of the Corker and Ford face off for the third and final debate of the campaign.

FORD v. CORKER#1- Though it's old news, it is interesting that the new campaign management team for Corker as of a couple of weeks ago is led by Tom Ingram who is Sen Lamar Alexander's chief of staff. It's hard to assess these past couple of weeks. Poll numbers say one thing ... I'll be dealing with that in shortly. Corker's campaign has blitzed the local TV markets with a bizarre array of ads. Has anyone seen the one with his wife Elizabeth? (link - Youtube) Is that supposed to go for family value voters? Seems to me to a shinking ship of an ad. Gernally, it seems like Corker's ad strategy is to throw everything against the wall and see what sticks. I don't know what role Ingram has in all this. Though it is interesting to note that Ingram is a big time Democrat. Word is that Ingram will be voting for Bredesen. (link - Metropulse).
