Yep, the Fords are a political machine here in West Tennessee, sort of like the Kennedys. They are mostly corupt and feel that their political offices should be lifetime appointments, as well as handed down thru the family. Laws really don't apply to them, in their way of thinking.
This contested election really stinks. They have confirmed 12 bogus votes, but there are about 40 others under investigation right now.
As you know, the Ford's think they own Memphis by divine right. They are ALL delusional. The State Senate has finally given one of them a huge wake up call. What will poor ole Ophelia do now? Rant and rave, play the race card to the ultimate, get Je$$e and Al down here and split Memphis racialy even more. They tried to run a corrupt campaign and lost. It took some doing, but they lost. What galls them more than anything is that they lost to a white Republican. And that is a cold, hard fact. That cannot be allowed to happen in the Ford's universe. Ding dong, the witch is gone.
