Harold Ford May Run for Senate in New York

From New York Times:

Mr. Ford, 39, who moved to New York three years ago, has told friends that he will decide whether to run in the next 45 days. The discussions between Mr. Ford and top Democratic donors reflect the dissatisfaction of some prominent party members with Ms. Gillibrand, who has yet to win over key constituencies, especially in New York City.

After the 2006 ugly Senate race in Tennessee, Ford moved to New York. Ford works for Merrill Lynch and is frequently on MSNBC as a political pundit. The New York Times added the Conservative Southern Democrat will likely “tweak” his positions to appeal to voters in New York.

I wish Ford would come back to Tennessee instead of following Hillary’s footsteps and become a New Yorker. New York is a Democratic stronghold, it is easy to win there. Ford came within 40,000 votes of winning Tennessee’s Senate race. Corker and the RNC stopped at nothing to win it. The shameful, racist ads cinched the deal for them (but barely).
