He will be formidable and more the so given the appearance of Rep disarray on most fronts coupled with Frist's apparent inability to control Senate Reps.

What are you talking about? Jr. has not a chance to win in Middle and East Tennessee. He could not be elected dog catcher outside the 9th District.

Maybe he can get his "influential" uncle to appear in a TV campaign commercial with him.

Will Harold Ford run as a Republican or a Democrat in that primary?

If he runs as a Democrat, he just wants to be a Senator.

If he runs as a Republican, he wants to a Senator and a leader in his party. That's something the Democrats denied him back in 2000 when they decided a rich white bug eyed hysterical white woman was better as their leader in the House than Harold.

I wonder if Democrats will ever be smart enough to recognize what a disaster that was?

Little Ford will never win this seat.

His politics don't fit and the demographics are against him unless the illegals can vote. Plus his uncle's troubles can't help.

The Pubbies shoulda run Blackburn. She has proven to be resolute. Her ACU last year was 100 and she as a chick could take the steam out of Ford's pretending to be black and playing up the minority thing.

I have tried to tell them but they don't listen to me.


PS: Yes folks Bryant and Van are fine fellas but not great campaigners nor super eloquent.

Everybody, Theodore R. is a virulent liberal and has been missed by the moderators for some time. He is a troll please disregard anything he says. During 2004 he was campaigning for baby killer brad carson over Tom Coburn.

Ford's ties to Marion Barry, Hillary, and his Uncle and along with his father's sterling reputation will get him elected. West Tennessee is full of yellow dog ignorant faggot loving ACLU enabling pedophile supporting democrats.

Absentee and early voting run by the Democrats will insure Ford's success.

susan asp (adler) thorpe was on the news last night and she said this would effect JUNIOR's fund raising abilities..he need at least 10 Mil for a run at Frist seat. She didn't think he'd be able to raise the funds. thorpe is a RAT insider, former Commie Appeal reporter and former aide to the Shelby Co Mayor...she got caught giving favors to a friend.

"GOP infighting could turn this seat to the Democrats."

Yeah. But if the seat got turned to the democrats, the Republicans could pride themselves that they did not compromise on principles.

They can call the opposing Republican names, like rino.

They can threaten to, and in fact, not vote.

They can threaten to vote for a 3rd party, or for the democrat (and do so).

That's my good old GOP. Never compromise on principle.

Ford may have a few problems explaining the propensity of his relatives to defraud those around them.

I wonder just how far from the tree his apple fell, not far I would bet.

I also wonder if Tennessee is ready for a Black Congressional Caucus member who time after time sided with the blatant Louis Farrakan racists in his party just because some white or Hispanic person proposed a change.

Every time I think Ford has turned the corner and would represent all races equally he goes and sides with some off the wall racists crap and destroys his image.

If Tennessee knows what's good for them, they'll get this guy out of politics ASAP!

The corruption of the Memphis Ford family is now chin high.
