1. Time To Take Frists' Seat
What are our chances of TN electing Ford?

5. It could go either way
It depends on who goes out to vote and everything. We have a democratic governor so it's possible.

4. I personally
would rather have him then a republican. Corker isn't horrible or anything (he was my mayor) but I'd just rather have a democrat.

6. Thanks for the info., but I'll pass.
I haven't recovered from hearing him speak at the TN Federation of Democratic Women's luncheon during our convention.

I thought I was gonna hurl when he stated 'I like George Bush', and this little gem, 'He's a Christian, I'm a Christian.' That's when I got up and went outside to smoke. There were audible groans in the room and one loud, 'God, is the bar open yet?'

No Ford, no thanks.

8. I think not
I know it is fashionable to say in endorsing some horrible DINO candidate that at least they are better than a Republican alternative, but Ford will be a nightmare in the Senate and give the Thugs cover on a number of issues (see his record on bankruptcy "reform", particularly his support of the upcoming "Aid to Usurers" bill). Harold will kill two birds with one stone as well if elected as he will give African American cover to the more heinous Republican agendas.

I will support state senator Rosalind Kubita in the primary and in the general election as well, and I wouldn't object to seeing the Dems lose this seat if Ford is the nomijnee. At least you know what you're getting with Bob Corker in the seat. Ford will rise to stab his own party in the back again and again.

9. Right with Corker
Corker wasn't a horrible mayor or anything like that. He did a lot of reconstruction and stuff like that here. At least he knows how to properly read a book to children. LOL!
