Harold Ford hopes to replace Senator Frist in 2006.
Kenneth Neill, delegate from the 92nd House District, blasted Ford in a letter published online at the Memphis Flyer.
Well, it was there last night.
But when I checked the link a few secs ago, it was nowhere to be found.
I did, however, save a small excerpt:
"I would say, however, that your absence from Saturday's proceeding was more than a little embarrassing. And it was a downright insult to your friends, to those honest and sincere Shelby County Democrats who worked so diligently on your behalf to get the candidate whom you had endorsed elected as Shelby County chairman. They did not succeed, and those individuals were made to look foolish. That is neither good for you, nor good for the Democratic Party. "
Sincerely,
Kenneth Neill
Shelby County Democratic Party
Delegate from the 92nd House District
The Memphis Flyer does have a story up about the event (at least, it's there at this moment). It discusses the fact that Ford's choice for Chair of the county party lost!
Earlier this month the Congressman cancelled his scheduled appearance at the Democracy for Tennessee conference held here in Nashville. Some say that Ford will travel to your event only if you have money and lots of it. But, of course, what's really on the minds of those who are unhappy with Ford is his alarming record of voting with Republicans.
There is a rising tide of anger among rank and file Dems in this state over the fact that you can't tell a Democrat from a Republican. Many of us are fed up with Democratic candidates and elected officials who could just as easily be Republican.
State Senator Rosalind Kurita (D) - who is Ford's only opponent for Senator Bill Frist's seat - attended both events.
