Vote '08

NewsChannel 9 received a press release earlier this morning from the ever-snarky Tennessee Republican party, that attacks Michelle Obama, who’s visiting the state capital soon.

The release contained a link to a YouTube clip that has “ordinary Tennesseeans” (any Democrats there?) talking about why they’re “proud” to be “Americans:”

UPDATE: The Obama camp responds:

“This is a shameful attempt to attack a woman who has repeatedly said she wouldn’t be here without the opportunities and blessings of this nation. The Republican Party’s pathetic attempts to use the same smear tactics to win elections have failed in Mississippi, failed in Louisiana, and will fail in November because the American people are looking for a positive vision of real change. And if the Tennessee Republican Party has a problem with Senator Obama, maybe next time they’ll have the courage to address him directly instead of attacking his family.”

What do you think?
