All what is suggested may be so, but if this candidate is that strong why two national figures who have nothing to do with this local race is needed to provide support. Kinda weak!

After this weekend that ad may be seen as a waste of money. If the Democratic candidate is any good this ad will be a waste on money.

Welcome to racial politics 2008 style in Mississippi!

Who the hell is running here? Rev. Wright? Enough already, it is being run into the ground, which I guess is a good thing. Recycled too much.

I think in the end these people are going to look like idiots. Unfortunately as long as Hillary is consuming Obama's attention he will be unable to address these attacks like he needs to.

This tactic will only be effective to people who would never have voted Democrat anyway, the people in the middle will see right through this after Obama calls them on their distractions. The GOP is playing people for fools, like always, and Obama is just the person who will be able to expose their tricks and flip them, just like he has flipped every attack Hillary has thrown at him.

It's about time the Dems quit letting these hard right Reps define the conversation.

Go ahead and let them run these ads...Obama and his fabulous ground organization will be out working to overthrow them all.

Don't ever underestimate the affect of a national candidate with a serious, tested ground organization.

To do so is at your own peril.

Downtickets everywhere rejoice!

Southern white conservatives playing the race card to scare voters?

Shocking.

You know, it just dawned on me, this black thing could hurt Obama among racists.

I'm sick of the racism. Just donated to Childers' campaign. Its about time thinking people pushed back.

sheesh, when will this guilt by association thing end? by this ridiculous logic every Republican would be unelectable because they are of the same party as: Bush, Cunningham, Craig, Vitter, Cheney, Feith, Gonzales, Delay, Gingrich, and any other unconvicted GOP felon walking around I haven't mentioned. If there all members of the GOP they are therefore 'associated' with each other, and logically it follows then they are all 'guilty' of every transgression they've all been involved in. Childers opponent clearly doesnt care much about his potential constituents and what they think about. he thinks they are all dumb fools. i think childers should win this seat. good. anything to make Haley Barbour look more fat and chubby cheeked.

While I am open to the possibility that this is another example of the GOP trying to scare Southern whites with the prospect of black people in power, I think this might have more to do with painting Travis Childers as a radical liberal, obviously a dirty word in the Deep South, by characterizing Obama as such. Obviously, Childers is as ideologically far apart from Obama (and most Democratic politicans) in most respects as can be.

I don't think it's inherently racist for somebody to be offended by some of the things Jeremiah Wright said in his sermons.

Meant to say it will appeal to those who wouldn't vote for Childers anyway, NOR Obama in the general.

The good people of North Carolina and Indiana have to insulted that Chicken Obama is to scared to have another debate with Hillary after she crushed the limpwristed one last time out. We have had four one-on-one debates so far — and each has been revealing. On Friday in Indiana, Obama talked tough in response to a question: “I get pretty fed up with people questioning my patriotism.” And, he continued, “I am happy to have that debate with them any place, anytime.” He’s happy to have fantasy debates with unnamed people who are allegedly challenging his patriotism. But he’s not willing to have a real debate with the real person he’s competing against for the nomination. Will Obama pay no price for ducking? Should paid advertisements determine the Democratic victor, not the performance of the two candidates debating at length in an unscripted setting? We can only hope that there is real resentment in North Carolina and Indiana that Obama does not consider them worthy of a debats and Obama loses both states. It will serve him Wright.

So, this bigot Greg Davis wants to use prejudice and fear mongering to get himself elected? Why get mad, when you can get even?

If enough Obama supporters start donating to Travis Childers, his Democratic opponent, we can reward his lack of decency with a little poetic justice.

I guess everyone who insisted Obama had put the Rev. Wright issue to bed with his thirty-seven minute Philadelphia speech now knows better.

A very important thing happened today that so far hasn't seemed to gain much attention. Howard Dean said that the Democratic primary race is a draw. That poured cold water on those who have tried so hard to paint Obama as the obvious winner and heir presumptive. The fact that Dean was willing to say this is very significant.

ABC News commented that Obama has managed to paint himself as the front runner, but in fact polls show a tie, and Obama has only a slight lead in pledged delegates. I've noticed how only a few weeks ago everyone was still trying to force Hillary to quit the race, and the emphasis was on how she was only hurting the Party's chances in November as she postponed the inevitable. But now the focus is shifting to questions about Obama's electability. I think Hillary may be right when she says the tide is turning.

Wow we have a lot of self-righteous people commenting on this website. You speak of being offended, but I am just as offended by your judgmental comments as you are offended by Rev. Wright's comments. And the question that goes through my mind as I read these comments, don't you have something better to do with your life than get on Talking Points Memo and ridicule a 72 year old African-American pastor? Do you not recognize how HATEFUL that makes YOU? Rev. Wright may have said some things that you don't approve of or understand, but he also used his life to serve the sick, homeless, and impoverished in his community, in addition to serving in the United States military. And you evidently have chosen to spend your life writing offensive comments on a website to annoy people. Impressive!

I think this ad will help the democrat in the race. They are giving free air time to Obama's statements that the dem will help change the rules in how the washington game is played. The guilt by association removed by 2 aspect is absurd and won't sway anyone who was otherwise going to vote for the dem.

It is supreme idiocy to call Rev. Wright "racist." Racism depends on power, and to pretend otherwise is to be willfully blind to the history of race in this country. And, to judge the man on 30 seconds on his career is to embrace and endorse the same tactics as the Rush Limbaughs of the world.

Eek. A mouse. Help, help.

Let's not lose the forest for the trees.

The use of the Wright connection is INCIDENTAL to this contest: it's just business-as-usual.

The GOP is absolutely desperate not to lose this special race that would be a catastrophe to their struggle to keep rank-and-file in line and supporting the GOP platform.

Childers went in with little chance against Davis, in a heavily Republican district, yet Childers came within less than a hundred votes (which came in mysteriously at the very end of the Election, hmmm??) of taking the Election outright.

Davis got a last-minute reprieve, a chance for the runoff, and now I'm sure Barbour and the MS GOP is balls-to-the-wall in this race which has gained national attention from both sides.

They will throw all the mud in the MS Delta and the kitchen sink at Childers if they think it has the remotest chance of swinging even ONE vote for Davis.

If Hillary had Childers' endorsement they would use her picture, too, and may just do that anyway.

People above are 100% on the money: Throw a couple bucks Childers' way today, and let's teach these local GOP chapters what price they will pay for doing dirt.

"Louis Farrakhan is one of the most important voices of the 20th and 21st century."

Bye bye Barry.
