Whose seat is he hoping to win? Lamar Alexander?
I can't stand the little creep. I hear him on Imus. I think he's a weasel of the first order.
Harold Ford Jr., is on FOX & FRIENDS? That shows how astute Harold is. He's the fair haired boy of Don Imus, and is on IMUS frequently, always accompanied by high praise from Imus. He loves the guy!!
Anyone on the right who is fooled by Harold Ford Jr's reasonable sounding rhetoric IS a fool. He's slicker than snot, polished and practiced in the art of political spit and spin, "signifying nothing". He's a charlatan! Just as liberal as every other outrageous, member of the Black Caucus, but smart enough to conceal it. (Have you ever seen Harold cozying up to Sheila Jackson Lee or Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton or John Lewis? Ain't gonna happen.)
With Barack Obama a senator, getting all the mushy, gushy love from the MSM, I bet Harold is pea green with envy.
One of the reasons they probably love him is that he's a member of the "Blue Dog Coalition". Those dems tend to vote fairly moderate positions (for dems), and also tend to be somewhat of fiscal conservatives - they may not vote for huge tax cuts, but they tend to be deficit hawks... meaning that they care more about a balanced budget than 90% of the Republicans in Congress today....
