Did you bother to read what I wrote? Perhaps you assume the writer of the article is a liar, because it said Ford voted against the bill. In traditional democrat terms, he votes in a manner that gives him deniability on any position.
Yeah, Corker has an "R" after his name, and frankly he is not my first choice (or second). But he can do little that will convince me that Tennessee would be better off with Ford in the Senate, and that's not just because of his party affiliation.
Why the GOP can't find good candidates this year is a mystery.
