| Description | No one would confuse Roger Wicker, the conservative Republican senator from Mississippi, as an Obama supporter.
But in the midst of a tight election campaign against Democrat Ronnie Musgrove, he is associating himself with the Democratic presidential nominee in a radio ad targeted to African-American voters in the Magnolia State.
"I'm supporting Barack Obama for president and Roger Wicker for US Senate," an African-American woman says in the ad. “In the debate. [Musgrove] wouldn’t even say Barack Obama’s name. He’s disrespecting us and taking our vote for granted,” she says.
Another African American says of Wicker: “He represents us and he doesn’t take our vote for granted. He’s asking for our vote. Ronnie Musgrove refuses to say he supports Barack Obama.”
