3. He just kept saying that for weeks, and as recently as yesterday. Maybe because that's the 10th
biggest state?

5. I'll go out on a limb and say yes........
seriously though, I hope someone brings that up in future interviews with Ford. I'm not worried about what Republicans have to say about the Democratic Primary anway.

19. I'll be sure to email MSNBC to remind him. And it's funny how Buchanan said
that if Obama doesn't win by double digits, he's in big trouble since he was up by 20-something earlier. Yet when Hillary won PA by 9.2, Pat called it a "thumping" even though SHE was up by 30 at one point.

11. Really? I'm surprised he'd say that,
knowing his DLC cohort won't win NC.

13. Ford was even predicting that ONE of them might win BOTH states tonight ...
Maybe he'll be RIGHT after all! (But not for the candidate he
was thinking of ... )

28. No--Joe said NC is the game changer, Harry went on vacillating....
not giving his opinion of anything except what he would do if he were O, what he would do if he were HC.

24. Mr. Ford backed the wrong horse too many times + sees Obama's 1.5 million donors.
Edited on Tue May-06-08 06:49 PM by David Zephyr
Harold Ford endorsed Joe Lieberman over Ned Lamont.

Harold Ford praised Bush's war in Iraq even after most Democrats had begun apologizing for ever supporting it.

Harold Ford tried to push out Nancy Pelosi from being speaker calling her 'too liberal'

Harold Ford tried to steal the Chairmanship of the National Party from Howard Dean.

Harold Ford became Al From of the DLC's sock puppet and trashed the Left Wing of the Party.

Harold Ford supported Hillary Clinton over Barack Obama.

Harold Ford was the only big loss in 2006 when Democrats took back 5 Senate seats from the GOP.

Harold Ford made sure that everyone in Tennessee knew that he "liked girls" not boys and that he was very opposed to gay marriages. And then guess what? Harold Ford lost.

Harold Ford now sees the writing on the wall and knows that Barack Obama, who has a 1.5 million donor base and a national organization unparalleled in American history needs to suck up and suck up big.

To hell with Harold Ford. He's no Democrat.

Hey Harold. We have you game. You are an opportunist and no friend of our party. Now, you can go back to your "girls".

27. Ford said Obama answered some important questions tonight. He weathered the Wright storm,
Edited on Tue May-06-08 06:53 PM by jenmito
and SDs will be looking at that (and going to him, that Obama should get 15 to 20 SDs to come out for him and maybe "talk to Hillary.) :D

29. Yeah, if that were phrased differently, it would have sounded a lot worse.
Let's round up some strong arms to "help her decide"

34. DLC Harry will move his goalposts as his Masters command.
Nobody at Al From's Fortress of Ineptitude is going to concede until Hillary does.
