If you listen really carefully, you can get an idea of what the cries of racism will sound like in the near future. After all, it's Mississippi. Why else would they oppose Obama?

The ad is being run against Travis Childers, not against Obama. Childers is running in MS-01, traditionally a +10 Republican seat. Childers came out ahead in the election (he got about 49.9% of the vote, 400 votes shy of the 50% he needed to avoid a run-off and win the election outright).

Republicans are now panicking and are running a racially divisive ad against him that has nothing to do with him. Republicans are losing on the issues. The war, the economy, energy, healthcare, and they are going to the only thing they think they have left. A racial issue involving a candidate not even on the ballot for the congressional race in MS. Embarrassing. This is the party Republicans are supporting. I guess if you can't win on ideas...
