Junior's father, Harold Ford, Sr. was caught up in the House Banking Scandal several years ago. Sr. was in the top five in terms of total checks written, but NUMERO UNO in total $$$ amount. I didn't trust Sr. and I sure don't trust Jr.. Jr. is just more polished BSer than his daddy was. IMHO, Jr. will not win his race for US Senator from TN. He's got to win middle and east Tennessee, and that ain't gonna happen.
Jeez, that isn't even the tip of the iceberg. Harold's uncle John had to resign from his state senate seat because he was indicted for taking bribes from undercover FBI agents. His Aunt Ophelia ran for John's seat and won by 13 votes. An investigation has proved that the results of the election cannot be trusted because several dead people, ineligible ex-cons, and people outside the district voted in the election. Hell, neither John nor Ophelia even LIVE in the district that they "represent". You can't be raised in an outhouse and not have the smell of sh*t on you.
