This is hysterical:

"This ran in the free weekly paper in Omaha, "The Reader"

The ad reads:

"Obama-Terry Voter, anyone?" I’ll admit it: I’m voting for Obama and Lee Terry. Why? Because I want our officials to work hard, to be honest, exhibit strong ethics and be accessible. That’s Lee Terry. Ever talked with Lee? I have. You ask him questions, you get straight answers. I like that. Please join me in voting for Lee Terry. Paid for by Lee Terry for Congress

Lee Terry is the incumbent REPUBLICAN running for re-election to Congress in Nebraska's second congressional district."

1. Wow... that's sad. But this isn't a new thing exactly.

There's been plenty of Republicans who've been running pro-Obama ads and doing other stuff like trying to add on the (R) after their name. I think some incumbent in a particular state is even listing his party affiliation as GOP Party and a bunch of Republicans in that state are following suit.

3. They're scared shitless

that the wave is going to crush them.

2. Republicans all over the country have been trying to hide their party affiliation..

for months.

Years, in some cases.

4. Yep. We've even coined a new term for them in another thread:

Epublicans. Now they need a motto. How about, "You can trust your war to the man who hides his 'R'"?

6. Point this out to his local media.

Might make the Republicans less likely to vote for him if he's so in the bag for Obama.
