...Ford's crime was his attendance, along with 3,000 other people, at a Super Bowl party sponsored by Playboy magazine last year. This inspired the Republicans to run their now famous ad featuring a scantily clad white actress who claimed to have met Ford at the party and then, in the punch line, pooched her lips, winked and whispered, "Harold, call me." A second ad accused Ford of having "Hollywood values," for what it said was his support of gay marriage and the distribution of morning-after birth-control pills to teenagers...
...Rapid response to Republican attacks has been a key to Ford's unlikely strength in Tennessee. In early October, for example, the Republican candidate, Bob Corker, accused Ford of being pro-amnesty for illegal immigrants. Ford's response was immediate and lethal: an ad claiming that Corker's construction company had employed illegal aliens.

Moderate and liberal Republican men are down only 19 points over this same period, to 62%. McCaskill is running a new ad attacking Talent as a right wing ally of Bush who votes with him 94% of the time...
...Talent's most effective effort so far has been with an ad accusing McCaskill of failing to crack down on abusive nursing homes as she promised to in her campaign for state auditor. "This whole thing they've done about nursing homes particularly targets women because they feel guilt over putting parents in health care," McCaskill said last week. "Those ads are particularly damaging." She has worked up a counterstriking ad that features her mother, a former politician herself, talking about her father's death in a nursing home, but at the end of last week McCaskill was still deciding...
