What is it with carpet bagging Democrats going to New York to run for office there? Are they too liberal for their real home states?

Does anyone, anymore, think that Senators and Representatives are supposed to be from the places from which they are elected?

Ford said that after his losing Senate election bid in his real home state, he had moved to New York and was working there. So, he’s saying that he really lives in New York, and didn’t move there to advance his political career.

Historically, New York voters don’t care if their Democrat Senator is from New York.

Forget about his wife for a moment. I wonder if NY voters know anything about his crooked family record in Memphis and Tennessee politics.

He is not his father’s son. That was his mother’s gift to him.

He has more Caucasian ancestry than African. It’s pretty obvious - just look at him.

What a bunch of hooey! Another pretty face, one that doesn’t need a teleprompter, but just another empty Armani suit.
