The Bob Corker campaign just send out a new press release, titled:
Tennessee Race from Toss-Up to Lean Republican; Daily Kos Says Ford "Cratering," Abandons Him
Here's a how the press release starts out:
In addition to the fact the New York Times, RealClearPolitics and Rasmussen have moved the Tennessee Senate race from "Toss-Up" to "Lean Republican," the iconic liberal website Daily Kos lamented on its homepage that Ford is "cratering" and that the "race is lost":
The press release goes on to quote kos extensively. If you were looking to boost the enemy and discourage the troops, kos - well done!
If, on the other hand, you think it's a
bad idea to provide ammunition to the GOP, then perhaps you should remember that this is a very public forum and you are a very public person.
I am trying my damnedest here and elsewhere to rally Ford supporters and GOTV. Unless you are damn sure that we have six seats locked up, please do not sabotage Ford's efforts! As you said, kos, we haven't won shit yet. We can't give up on anything until every last vote is counted. Too many races are too close (and the stakes are too high) for us to abandon one single Democrat right now.
A "50 State Strategy" includes Tennessee right up until election day. If you fear Ford is losing momentum, then give him a hand - not a kick to the head.
Bill Clinton came here this week. Barrack Obama is coming this weekend. That's lending a hand. That's fighting for victory.
Keep up the good fight, Kossacks!
