If it was up to Harold Ford Jr. NY State would be changing its name from the Empire State to the carpet-bagger State. The former Tennessee Congressman is threatening to mount a primary challenge against NY Senator Kristen Kirsten Gillibrand who was named to fill the seat of another carpet-bagger, Hillary Clinton.
Ford, who lost his bid to be Senator from Tennessee in 2006 claims he has been a resident of New York State for the past three years is still registered to vote in Tennessee and voted in Memphis in the 2008 Election when he was supposedly a NY Resident. Ford still lists a condo on South Front Street in Memphis as his home.
The Memphis Commercial-Appeal investigated Ford's residency and discovered that Ford may not have been totally honest about his residency

A Ford...not honest???? Aww come ON!!!!

I imagine the beginning of this guy's resume reads:
Experienced Congressman seeking Senatorial opportunity with growth potential, willing to relocate.
I can't believe he is this stupid. He voted in the 2008 election and yet claims NY is his home for the past three years?
Moron.
Harold Ford is a light skinned guy who doesn't talk with a Negro accent....UNLESS he WANTS TO!! So I guess he'll get 75% of the vote!!
Moron....he’s PERFECT for New York!!
LOL! How true. Maybe he'll pick Bloomberg as his running mate ... for the Senate. :-)
Exactly. Furthermore, Democrats don't give a damn about states. Representing NY, AL, TN, KY, RI, ... doesn't matter. It's all about federal power. Such a far cry from the olden days where congressional representatives cared about the rights and positions of their states.
I never could figure out how a sad sack like Ford ever got elected. He's dry, boring, humorless, and devoid of any discernible personality...like Obama I suppose.
You can have him NY....He’s toast in Tennessee as far as politics go!
They'll call him a carpetbagger, but ultimately residency hasn't turned out to be a big issue. It didn't for Hillary Clinton.
The question is, did he get a sweetheart deal on a NY residence like Hillary did?
Hey there!
I used to live in Memphis. Those Fords don’t do ANYTHING unless it’s crooked!
