Well, well, LWC, your scenario having Jake Ford win, only to hand over his seat to his brother in the event he loses his Senate race, is one I haven't thought about, but it's a very good one.

That's probably why Thaddeus Matthews is flipping out, and that's probably why Harold Sr is covering all bets. How is he going to keep making that paper as a lobbyist if he has no sons on Capitol Hill in either capacity?

LWC,

YOU think Cohen votes 99.9% of the time but not everyone is under the same impression. Steve Cohen does not represent me, my political leanings or my beliefs. And before you get self-righteous, no, I am not talking about his particular religious preference. Religious preference is not what alienates me from the Cohen camp is the arrogance of the man himself.

I hate we are in this situation. I am not satisfied with nay of the three candidates. I will not vote for Steve Cohen worth nothing. I don't know too much about Mark WHite. Jake Ford is th eonly one left based on a name. I pray Jr. wins this senate. I support him 100 percent behind that.

Too much hustle. Not enough flow.

Sharon,

If the anti gay marriage hadn't been on 11 ballots in 2004, Kerry would be President.

Had TN been a battleground state, we would have had it on the ballot here in 2004. No one was projecting the state to be all that close, so they kept it as a hole card for this year.

Where, oh where would the GOPers be if there were no minorities to villainize?

And I was just getting ready to modify mine to link back to this. Excellent piece, my friend.

Sgt Larry,

Lightning could strike Steve Cohen and Jake Ford, and Mark White would still struggle to come in third. It's just not that kind of district. What's more likely would be GOPer crossover to keep Ford out.

LWC

The following of what you said could be what all this push to get Jake elected is about. Do you think that is why TM flipped and igniting it on his sight?

If Jake wins (not likely) and Harold loses (far more likely), what are the odds that Jake will have a mysterious reason for resigning a month or so into his term? Poppycock, you say, balderdash, you yell! Jake is his own man and would NEVER do that.

2006-08-21T05:57:00.000-05:00

The Republicans will turn out to vote because once again the Republicans are appealing to their (fear) base with the threat of two boys kissing with benefits.
If the anti gay marriage hadn't been on 11 ballots in 2004, Kerry would be President.
We can be sure the homophobes will turn out in full force to save the state of straight marriages, even though the divorce rate is infinitely higher in red states than in blue states. Details. Who can be bothered with details?

2006-08-20T12:57:00.000-05:00

The dynamics of this race make it one of the more interesting ones around. Some people say Jake Ford's entry into the race gives Mark White a shot at winning the seat, but others think Cohen and White are pulling from the same pile of votes.

I don't have a clue as to how this will go, but it certainly is more interesting than if a Dem and a Repub were lined up to run head to head. That race would go to the Dem.

Jake's being in the race is the conundrum. How will black voters go on this? Will blacks vote the person regardless of race? Well, they did in the Sheriff's race. However, there were significant numbers for Roderick Ford in his race against Jimmy Moore. Rod didn't make a speech, put up any signs, or even attempt to have a campaign. All he did was have the right last name and nothing scandalous in his past. Now we're seeing Jake Ford signs starting to go up in Germantown. Another legitimate question is what have the Ford's done for people in this district? Have they used their position to help their constituents or themselves? From what I've seen it has been the later. The poor black people don't seem to have a better situation than they did 30 years ago, but look at the lavish lifestyle of the Fords. They have gotten rich off the 9th district. They now drive around in expensive tour buses, high dollar suvs and live in homes that cost a half million or more. I'd say the Fords more closely resemble the rich white folk than the common black man.

It appears this is going to be a slugfest. Cohen has a long history of service to his constituents, both black and white. Will that pay off in this race? Steve is being endorsed by both mayors. Will that return big dividends for Steve? Can the mayors transfer their vote to Steve against an iconic family name?

I'm sure Mark White is thinking he has a chance due to the situation. If Jake weren't in the race, you could easily predict the outcome of this one. Since the reality is that the district is almost 2-1 Democrat, and there are two democrats running, now we have a three way split. There is no way the Republican voters will vote for a Ford. Many still remember the "East Memphis White Devils" comments from Harold, and they will do whatever they think is necessary to make sure a Ford isn't in that seat. Does that mean they will dump Mark and vote for Steve to ensure that Jake doesn't take the seat? I wonder if Las Vegas has this one on the boards?

Since I don't live in the district, I can't vote in this race. If I did, much as I like Mark White, I would be strongly tempted to vote for Cohen. This strategy is played out in numerous elections time and again. I voted for Bush over Kerry for a several reasons, but mainly because he was the lesser of the evils for me. There were many who did that same thing here in local races like the Sheriff's race.

If only I had a crystal ball!

2006-08-20T10:29:00.000-05:00

Although I don't like it, I'm not so sure that we should dismiss Jake, though if he had any other name, he would be a nobody. There is a "keep the seat black" campaign brewing in Memphis and it is sickening to me.

I wouldn't be at all surprised if Jake won the race.

This is a crossroads for Memphis. We could basically be done with the Fords for a long time if Jake and Harold, Jr both lose. Well, at least 2 years.

This is about getting Jake some nice connections on Capital Hill and making him his own man

2006-08-20T10:16:00.000-05:00

I just got back in town from a business trip and, for the first time, saw some Jake signs in and around the Mound. Big signs, like banners, and always next to a Jr. sign.

I may be relatively new to Memphis, but I've seen my share of family dynasties, and Jake gives me pause. I hope Cohen is raising a lot of money right now, because I fear this could get ugly, and expensive.

Jake may just be a tool (and I choose my words carefully here) for his brother, but spliting the black vote in Memphis is a sure fire way for the seat to end up in Republican hands...and that worries me.

2006-08-20T10:00:00.000-05:00

You're missing one option ... Jake and Steve split the democrat evenly and Mark White wins. Then Jr comes riding in on his "white" horse and takes the seat back for democrats in '08.

Or ... Steve wins and Jr still returns to reclaim his seat in '08.

Don't expect the democrats in south Memphis to shun Jr. in November. These are the same ones who voted for Ophelia over Haley and for Bowers. They'll turn out like lemmings for Jr.
