You can tell Republicans have fallen on tough times when Roger Wicker tries to fool Hinds County voters into thinking he's a Democrat. The Musgrove campaign just sent out a link to this post from Marc Ambinder at The Atlantic.

Apparently Wicker's campaign has sent out a sample ballot for Hinds County that lists in bold the names of all the Democratic candidates, except that Wicker's name, not Ronnie Musgrove's, is highlighted next to the special election for U.S. Senate.

Wacky. This is an about-face from recent years, eh? A Republican trying to grab Democratic coat tails in Mississippi. Wow. And a black Democrat at that.

Where is the evidence this was put out by the Wicker campaign?

It sure doesn't sound like it was put out by the Musgrove campaign!?! ;-) Funny thing is I had a doorknob hanger in my mailbox tonight showing Wicker with all the "conservatives" running. Sounds like his camp is trying to play both sides of the aisle. Amazing.

Politico is reporting a local wingnut's take on the fake Wicker ballot scandal. The problem with his theory, of course, is that either side could have photoshopped that ballot, so his big discovery doesn't prove anything, one way or the other. I also doubt that that site reported that Wicker was doing this very same thing on the radio not so long ago when he tried to get black voters to vote Obama-Wicker.
