Here is Mike's email, reprinted with permission:
Hey Steve, I saw your post on the DSCC and support of Harold Ford Jr. and wanted to pass along some info.
Just to let you know, the idea that the DSCC abandoned Harold Ford Jr. is simply not true. Novak got it wrong in his latest column. We were up on the air running ads right up to Election Day. In the last two weeks of the campaign we easily spent over a $1 million – about a fifth of the $5 million we spent throughout the race. I’ve included the money we spent through our Independent Expenditure for those last two weeks below.
Perhaps most telling though is what Ford himself said – in an interview on the Situation Room on Nov. 16th Ford said “Chuck Schumer did an extraordinary job for me.” [link: http://transcripts.cnn.com
At any rate, I can pull more data if you need it but there’s simply no evidence to back up Novak’s BS claim that Schumer abandoned Ford. Let me know if you have any questions on this – I’m happy to help.

Mike, would you please tell Chuck to check with the powers that be down here before he tries to kingmake for Tennessee?
Tell him this request comes from a college classmate of his who will identify himself upon email request.
Also ask him to meet Congressman Cohen as soon as he can and be nice to him.
Thank you.
