Light but charming, a guy who is real, and trying to do his best, does not always spell loser. And the guy looks great. He won't frighten white folks. We shall see. It will make for an interesting political story. Ford either has the inner toughness to succeed, or he doesn't. I don't have it in my heart however to wish him failure. He might be an interesting addition to the Senate, which has become so blowdried. But I don't expect that.

WADR, you need to study up a little harder on the Fords before coming here to pontificate on just who Harold Jr will and will not scare. His politics are well known in Tennessee along with the corruption of his family. His will be an uphill battle just to get past the primaries.

The times I have seen him on TV I have found him defensive and a party line man. Of course, that is just my opinion.

What the crap is that supposed to mean?

Ford is a card-carrying member of the Congressional Black Caucus (CBC). If I lived in TN, that is all I would need to know in order to vote for whoever his opponent is. I don't know how anyone could vote for someone who spends even one minute of their time devoted to an organization that divides rather than unite people.

He may not, but his opponent will certainly make sure he does.

Having just crossed swords with you in another thread, and now seeing you in action here, I gotta hand it to you. You're smooth. Real smooth. For a "subtle" disruptor, that is.
