This sickens me: 

As for the role of race in the Tennessee contest:

The poll suggests that a Republican ad mentioning that Ford attended a Super Bowl party attended by Playboy playmates and featuring a white woman telling Ford to “call me,” hurt Ford. A whopping 81 percent of likely voters saw the ad.

While 67 percent said it would have no effect on their vote, 23 percent said it made them more likely to vote for Corker and 10 percent said it made them more likely to vote for Ford.

Let me emphasize, those polled who admitted that the ad affected their vote broke to Corker by a ratio of more than 2-to-1. That’s no accident.

“Anybody who saw that ad and actually gives such a piece of trash one iota of legitimacy ” is ,  as this poll suggests,  in the majority.  That’s pathetic.  It’s a very depressing thought to know that people aren’t appalled at such trash in politics,  and scream out in disgust to the tune of rejecting outright the perpetrator of such ads.
