Not from Tenn but Ford isn't as bad as the rest of the dims. You can see he would like to espouse a more conservative line but the leadership won't allow. I still think he'll lose and that's a good thing.
I'm not from Tennessee either.
the Ford history here in Tennessee indicates that any moves to the right are purely to grab votes. He's a leftie, and given his family history, a crooked one at that.
He'll say anything. His votes are as liberal as they come. Just like another famous Tennessee "junior" who did the same thing on his switch from the House to the Senate. That conservative democrat was Albert Gore, Jr.
Bill Clinton sounded relatively conservative, for a Democrat, when he ran in 1992, and he can come across as a warm, likeable person--from a distance. I think Harold Ford, Jr., is a lot like Bill Clinton (without the brains or he would have passed the bar)...not really a conservative and actually a nasty mean-spirited person, to judge from his conduct in the campaign.

JUNIOR maybe talking like a conservative, but his "a href="http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1717575/posts">LIBERAL VOTING RECORD</a> says just the oppisite. JUNIOR counts on the fact that most people especially the MSM won't do the necessary research to find the TRUTH.
