In case the link doesn't work, it is a blatantly racist ad from 2006 showing a dark-skinned hand over a white woman's mouth, saying, "If Democrats gain control of Congress, our values will be destroyed!" Will we see the resurfacing of this ad, along with even worse in the upcoming months?

1. There is much more (and much more rapid) backlash...
recall the button vendor at the texas repub convention - both the party and the vendor took heat with the state party
disavowing the vendor (iirc) and the vendor making excuses.

Each attempt will be followed by a backlash and the offenders doing the running of ads or promoting of such material making the gop become even more unseemly to the fence sitters (of which there will become fewer and fewer, imo.)

It is one of the startling aspects of what I just decided to call the 'sea of change' that is occuring in US politics/public perception. The longer the gop operatives keep running their old tricks - the closer they will inch towards becoming a permanent minority. YMMV.
