You don't take money from Libs and Centrists then pander to the Right Wing fringe. That's what Ford has done.<BR/><BR/>Going all the way back to our first phone call to Ford's people asking about Ford's opposition the medical marijuana, they hung up on us.<BR/>And there our disdain for Ford began.<BR/><BR/>When the DLC supported Ford over Kurita I believed right then it was over for Dems.

I don't know if they'll let me take the vomit bucket into the polls, but they better. <BR/><BR/>I don't blame anyone who has decided to write in. Believe me, I am not one of those "shut up and vote how Markos tells you to vote" people. I suggest writing in Rosalind Kurita. <BR/><BR/>The main reason I have decided to go ahead and vote for Ford is Corker.

Holy Joe.<BR/><BR/>It's clear that Ford emulates (and loves) Joe. What I can't understand is people who vehemently want Joe outta there for the destruction he causes, but don't seem to be all that bothered by Harold's style.<BR/><BR/>I'm telling ya, Harold IS Joe, without the yamaka.bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14730299223683907051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9102867.post-1161536897782566632006-10-22T12:08:00.000-05:002006-10-22T12:08:00.000-05:00"If Lieberman wins and Ford loses, then Markos has..."If Lieberman wins and Ford loses, then Markos has some 'splaining to do."<BR/><BR/>Derek, Kos is something like 2 out of 20 right now. He's the Bob Shrum of the anti-Bush Left!<BR/><BR/>And LWC, it's "Victory has many fathers but failure is an orphan."<BR/><BR/>Ford's problem, as I've said before, is prematurity. He's always making his moves just a bit too soon. When he has Daddy to back him up, he can be successful. As in his taking over his father's throne. But on his own, as in challenging Pelosi for the House Democratic leadership post, he fails.<BR/><BR/>His problem with the Senate race is that Daddy's help falls somewhere in between. Daddy can work to secure the base in Shelby County, but not much else. Otherwise, Junior's on his own.<BR/><BR/>He has a reliance on his own charisma that borders on the unwarranted, as we're seeing now.<BR/><BR/>Every rock star eventually fails to hit the Top Ten, and we may be seeing that now with Harold. But don't cry for him.

We have been pushed into a corner, and there was no sane reason whatsoever for Junior to do that. He had the safest Congressional seat in America.<BR/><BR/>But one question: when did Junior figure out that his base isn't secure? I see no evidence of that.autoegocrathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03726708889208600414noreply@blogger.com
