Harold Ford for DLC Governor of Tennessee? Can't We Get Lieberman?


It was bad enough thinking about Billie Frist's dream -- everybody else's nightmare -- of becoming Tennessee's most incompetent governor. Now we have to contend with Fox News Democrat Harold Ford's dream too?

Gee, maybe Joe Lieberman will come on down and join in the race to finish the state off. I mean social scientists already refer to Tennessee as a third world state.

Fortunately, the country is moving left and by the time the homophobic Frist and Ford incompetent peas in the same rightwing theocratic pod get a shot (in 2010), we will have universal healthcare and we will have some Democrats who actually represent the Democratic wing of the Democratic Party. Yes, a novel concept, known in some circles as the inevitable Bush legacy.

In the meantime, all I can say about the Tennessee church lady's favorite DLC DINO candidate is YUCK!

Nashville City Paper: A close advisor to former Congressman Harold Ford Jr. met with prominent Tennessee Democratic Party officials recently to talk about Ford’s interest in running for governor in 2010. . . The main topic discussed in the meetings is Ford’s interest in running for governor in 2010. . . Tom Lee, a Nashville attorney who advised Ford during the Senate campaign, sat in on one of the meetings and said Ford is “deeply interested in public service.”

“And we felt it was important to let people know that he is seriously looking at running for governor in 2010,” Lee said.
