Ford is themost dangerous kind of candidate, the kind that will do anything to win and is a virtuoso in politicking. He is very much in the vein of Lyndon Johnson and Bill Clinton in that he will outcampaign his opponent and do anything it takes and be ruthlessly savvy. Ignore him at your peril.
Baloney. He is a liberal candidate that is a virtual creation of Chris Matthews and Don Imus and the MSM. His base is the African-American community in Memphis and his family name stands for craziness and corruption. He will get very little support in East Tennessee and less than he should as a Democrat in Middle-Tennessee.
If Corker were behind he would be campaigning like it, he isn't. In fact it is Ford who is running like he is behind, and behind a lot.
