Wicker courting Obama voters?

If you need a sign that the Wicker campaign is scared to death of the massive Obama turnout awaiting them Novemebr 4, then look no further than a new radio ad featuring an African-American voice proclaiming that they are voting for Obama and Wicker. Roger Wicker who is supporting McCain, accuses Musgrove of not mentioning Obama's name in their debate a couple of weeks ago.

Audio available at the Politco:

"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.”

So let us get this straight. Wicker openly says he is supporting John McCain. Musgrove said he is supporting his parties nominee. Wicker thinks he can fool enough black people into thinking he is more pro-Obama than Musgrove. Does he really think this will work?
