How did Harold Ford Jr. lose?

Quote from Pa(b)st Prime:

Ford's father, former Congressman Harold Ford Sr., was indicted and acquitted on bank fraud charges; his Uncle Emmett was convicted of insurance fraud; his Aunt Ophelia got mixed up in a voting-fraud scandal and was removed from the state Senate, though she was not implicated; and his Uncle John, a former state senator, is set to go on trial just before the election this fall in a federal corruption case.

Not exactly an inspiring family tree. Of course if Ford ran in Illinois all that would be a positive......

I have to admit that Ford was somewhat creepy. He loved the cameras and was always on Imus... a little too smooth.
 
Quote from AAAintheBeltway:

Democrats have the media to run their campaigns for them. The Washington Post was obssessed over Allen's ridiculous macaca remark and devoted several front page stories to it and "rememberances" from 30 years ago by some pathetic losers. Chris Matthews took it upon himself to campaign daily for Ford on his show. He was shaking with outrage over the "call me" commercial. No sense o fhumor I guess.

Some whites, especially liberals, like to have black "friends" to prove that they're down with the homies. Look at me... I like black people! I am a good person.

LOL! He should move to Chicago. He would win in a landslide. His family ties didn't help him for sure, but I still liked the guy over Corker. Corker is just another, go along to get along, political hack. He shoud fit right in.
