Ford differed from the mainstream of his party on one or two issues where the Democratic position was unpopular in Tennessee, but his overall voting record was as liberal as they come, I believe. If Ann Coulter thought it would be better to have him in the Senate instead of a Republican who would vote the right way most of the time, I don’t follow her reasoning...maybe it was pique at a less conservative Republican winning the primary (because two conservatives competed for the more conservative voters).
I’m sure he was very liberal.
I never understood why Ann backed him except that she just kinda liked him and didn’t know Coker. Silly reason to back someone, but she sure did. I guess that’s the “charm” working for him. He’s quite a bit smarter than the rest of his family. (That’s saying something huh?)
Personally, I don’t mind listening to him debate. I don’t think i ever agreed with him on anything tho.
