When the rest of his family are crooks, why should Harold be trusted.

I say this with some hesitation because Harold Ford comes off as a Moderate Democrat that (unlike the rest of his Party) places his Country ahead of Politics.

I'm sure I will be flamed for this comment, but in truth, I wish we had more Harold Ford's than Barak Obama's

I won't flame you for saying that, I think you're right. But this is very good news for Repubs, I'm still for them over Ford.

The only thing Ford has going for him, is he's a strong supporter of the WOT, unlike the rest of the Democrat party, who are largely against it, save for the former Senator Zell Miller and Lieberman. Harold Ford comes off as a moderate because it comes with the territory. He's from an area of TN that is largely right-of-center by nature.

"Harold Ford comes off as a Moderate Democrat"

Yes, you should be flamed.
Maybe you do not know the Ford family from Memphis. A Ford is a Ford. The only reason he is in the house, is because his district is overwhelmingly chocolate.
Get 50 miles from Memphis, and everything changes.

Pretty-boy Harold, the darling of Fox News, will do everything he can to look conservative/moderate.
He knows that he hasn't a prayer of wining without starting every day with a new can of spray paint.

Ah, but the truth is in the votes he cast, 6-10 pts to the right of nancy pelosi and teddy kennedy. That my friend makes him as LIBERAL as they are. He talks in circles, says nothing and does dumb things like urge parole for convicted killers. No JUNIOR is not a moderate, just a soft spoken con-artist who is aided and abetted by the MSM who thinks he does no wrong.

Oh, that Ford. I thought the auto maker was having trouble with a southern plant.

If you do not live in Tennessee, you have no clue as to the crookedness of the Ford's. God help this country if Jr. should win this Senate seat.
