Ford is very charming on TV. I don't really think he is a leftie. I think he is rather conservative tempermentally. He might just get traction. I think he is a lightweigth though. That may or may not manifest itself.

Ford Clinton is very charming on TV. I don't really think he is a leftie. I think he is rather conservative tempermentally. He might just get traction.

Learn the lesson!

I'm wondering if he's like the new mayor of Detroit. Kwame Kilpatrick. He was former dem majority leader. His mom is a congresswoman and his dad works for Ed McNamara(in fact you probably remember him since he's been around forever). His mom Carolyn beat the racist Coleman Young ally Barbara Rose Collins in a primary. Kwame avoids most of the race baiting, and was even attacked for not doing so and being too 'nice' to the GOP in Lansing. He did do some race baiting while running for mayor, calling Michigan the "Mississippi of the North". I think he had to bait in order to win myself. Since then, I haven't heard any baiting from him.

However as far as I know, the Kilpatricks, while are a political dynasty, aren't like the Fords of Memphis, either posititve or negative.

jr is VERY LIBERAL, don't make a mistake and think other wise. EVERY word out of his mouth comes out of the demon-rat play book.

I heard he is for reparations. That's pretty leftie.

"Ford is very charming on TV. I don't really think he is a leftie. I think he is rather conservative tempermentally."

Yeah, right. He's middle of the road -- in the spectrum that ranges from Trotsky on the left to Clinton on the right.
