Is this guy saying that Harold Ford Jr. is not a Liberal? I lived in his district for a long time, and his father's before. Ford comes from the most powerful and politically corrupt family anywhere. He could not get elected outside the 9th District anywhere in Tenn. for any position.
Junior will never change his political affiliation, simply because in the next election, he wouldn't get elected, and he would be kicked out of the family. And, no matter what, he's still liberal at heart, and if he did switch, I'd say he'd be a Specter RINO at best.
