Republicans must have liked the result from their Tennesee ad, so they are now expanding the field nationally.
Bellow the fold is an excerpt from an article in today's Chicago Tribune

WASHINGTON -- Seeking to boost turnout and sway voters, Republicans are issuing dire warnings about a Democratic victory that would make Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi the speaker of the House and put key Democrats in charge of committees with power to raise taxes, launch investigations and impeach the president.
On Web sites, in news releases and on the campaign trail, the GOP portrays such Democratic lawmakers as New York's Charles Rangel, Michigan's John Conyers, California's Henry Waxman and Massachusetts' Barney Frank as political villains who would overturn or trim major GOP initiatives.
These talking points will be repeated thousands and thousands of times in the next 12 days. They'll be printed in hundreds of newspapers across America.
The blacks - Conyers and Rangel, the gays - Frank and the jews - Waxman...
It won't hurt the cause if they put faces to names in these articles. Just to make their case more clear. It will only make the good white people think more seriosly about what is about to happen in their orderly white neighborhoods if all these blacks, gays and jews are in charge. It will mean the blacks, the gays and the jews are coming to your neighborhoods. The horror - they are coming into your lives.
Fuck you, republicans! Stop dividing people by race, religion and sexual orientation.
