Holy moses! Just saw Harold Ford's new campaign commercial...it's great! He's going on about America's dependence on foreign oil, and the voiceover is above a shot of George Bush holding hands with an Arab oil baron.
Wow! Looks like Ford's getting ready to rumble for sure! And I saw the ad on Fox News, to boot (which I'm only watching cause it's covering the Lieberman/Lamont results live)....

That's a brilliant
That's a brilliant commercial, IMO.
Evocative of those Corker signs in front of every Pilot station in the state as well as of Bush's misbegotten foreign policy (hardly anybody gave more dough to W than the owners of the Pilot stores).
Can't wait to see these two
Can't wait to see these two square off!
Searching
I tried to find the commercial online, but was unsuccessful. Anyone know where it can be viewed on the tubes?
Is this it?

That's it
And what a great idea, posting it on YouTube...
Just read an article in Time magazine, entitled "Why Harold Ford Has a Shot." Interesting, tho it's one of those standard "we'll have to wait and see" celebrity-style bios.
