The Hotline has them. The shorthand: enough Republican candidates are within the margin of error in the polls to be succssfully pushed over the finish line by the GOP's vaunted "72 hour strategy" on turnout (which will receive unlimited funding -- including deficit financing, in order to git'er done.) Besides, you poll-happy national newspapers may be entitled to your math, but Karl is entitled to THE math.
The Tennessee Republican Party has sent out a flier with the tag line “Vote early to preserve your way of life” across the top.
Among the recipients of the flier was Rabbi Louis Zivic of Knoxville’s Heska Amuna Synagogue, who described the phrase as racially charged.
"I think it’s a subtle message, but it’s well understood," Zivic told the Forward. “I think this is all pitched sub rosa to people who have a tendency to be discriminatory."
In earlier decades, some white leaders used similar language in opposing civil rights for blacks, though Zivic was reluctant to draw a direct connection to fights over desegregation.
"I’m not sure I’d put it in terms of Jim Crow, that seems a little bit strong, particularly here in East Tennessee," the rabbi said. But it "means that in Tennessee we live life in a particular way. We cherish values like heterosexual marriage, we cherish values like family, and I think the implication is we want to stop further change, and of course the racial situation is part of what changes."
The flyer doesn't mention Harold Ford Jr. by name, but come on, guys. Come the hell on...
