That Willy Horton video is really interesting. I've heard it mentioned in the press but have never seen it (or when I saw it, it didn't mean anything to me because I had other pressing matters like a plastic horse with a really long purple mane.)
The Republicans had it dialed in way back then. Way to go scum-bag Republicans!

One important difference: Tavares isn't black.

Interesting. But I think Guiliani risks losing the guys-with-neck-tattoos vote.

at least the blatantly negative fear-tactic campaigning has less of a racial element to it... welcome to 2008!

Reminds me of the Disposable Heroes of Hiphoprisy's song, "Television":

It's the perpetuation of the two party system / where image takes precedence over wisdom / Where sound bite politics are served to the fast food culture / Where straight teeth in your mouth / are more important than the words that come out of it / Race baiting is the way to get selected / Willie Horton or / Will he not get elected on... / Television, the drug of the Nation / Breeding ignorance and feeding radiation.

And of course, the networks have been having a field day with the story.
