Republican Senator Pretends to be Democrat for Votes

Roger Wicker is the incumbent Republican senator from Mississippi. Mississippi doesn't list party affiliations on their ballot. So Wicker, in an effort to capitalize on the liberal shift, made up sample ballots where every Democrat was checked . . . . except for him. He's trying to get low information Obama supporters to vote for him, thinking he's a Democrat. And if I had to guess, I'd say Hinds County is likely largely African American. That's sad. When an incumbent Republican senator from a red state has to pretend to be a Democrat to get enough votes to win, you know there's something wrong.
