What kind of senator will Ford be...is he an independent democrat in the mold of Sam Nunn, Zell Miller, Scoop Jackson? Will he be somewhat of a Lieberman on defense, but a Kennedy on social issues?
I don't see a real liberal here as he is in Tennessee and will have to govern much like old Mary Landrieu, Blanche Lincoln, Mark Pryor, Bill Nelson--Red Southern states with real fedish for mom, grits and red-eye gravy, collards, apple pie, fried chicken and barbequed ribs, NASCAR, SEC/ACC football and basketball, hunting and fishing, and beer or bourbon.
No stomach here for quiche', eggs benedict, capons, tarts, croquet or lawn tennis, scotch or rye, New York Times best seller lists, solar power, The View, faux fox hunt rides wht the fox goes free, debating societies, Rolex watches, expensive fountain pens, bidets, Walmartless towns, or extremely soft toilet paper.

Don't believe that crap that because the RAT is from a conservative state that he will vote like a conservative. Georgia had Senator Cleland, who was elected as a moderate, he turned out to have a very liberal voting record. Check out the ACU (Conservative) and ADA (Liberal) ratings.

Ford has an ACU rating of 21. Not as bad as Ted Kennedy's 0, but BAD

Check out Landreiu, Lincoln, Pryor and Bill Nelson, all have poor ratings 44, 16, 24, and 20. Only Landreiu was close to MODERATE.

What kind of senator will Ford be.

CORRUPT. He is both a Ford and a demonRAT. He will be a polished charlie rangle, without the gravel voice. Big smile, glad hand, talk nice, stab you in the back. Worst kind of demonRAT.
