Losers don't like other losers.
One wonders why that is.

Harold Ford seems to think (IMO) that Hillary will win both NC and IN...
I saw him on Morning Joe and then just again on Hardball. He keeps saying that Hillary's "gas tax vacation" is a good idea, he agrees with it, saying voters WANT a short-term "fix" re: gas prices (regardless of what the economists say), and ends his statements by saying he thinks one of them (Hillary or Obama) will win BOTH states. He doesn't say which one, but by his comments, he clearly means Hillary.

1. Harold Ford would make a good VP choice for Hillary. IMHO
And so the sour-asses chime in:

2. He sure would-they're both DLC. But she won't be the nominee.

4. SENATOR Harold Ford???
the congressman greatly overestimated HIS OWN popularity, gambled on a senate run and LOST.. His great DLC didn't help HIM win a senate seat ..so I don't think I would take words from his mouth as gospel
I wouldn't take Harold's words as gospel myself, but remember, even a busted clock is right two times a day.

11. Yeah. Him. I was rooting for him against the Repub. and felt bad for him when they ran that Playboy ad against him, but now he's clearly for Hillary. And I now don't like him.

8. Harold Ford chair of the DLC. I'm shocked to hear that he backs Hilly.
And, the last time I checked water is still wet.

9. Harold is a DLC pawn, has been shilling for Hill for months. He began the runup to this by saying a few weeks ago that "the winner of NC will be the nominee". I'm going to hold his smarmy mouth to that when Obama wins NC and hope he will STFU.
And Jen.. TURN OFF MSNBC !!
franksolich is confused.
Isn't MSNBC the
Pravda for the primitives?

20. I know. He's been saying that for weeks. He said it again today...
I'm really starting to fear she may pull off a 1-point victory in NC. They were showing a poll where Hillary is now getting 18% of the Black vote in NC along with the Limbaughians and Bill Clinton making about 9 appearances there today alone. Darn it...I can't turn off MSNBC! I can't look away! HELP!

10. Harold Ford is on the DLC Leadership Team and chairman of the DLC. Hillary is chair of the DLC's American Dream Initiative. It's really not a surprise that you would still be pushing Hillary's nomination.

16. Funny thing is I always thought he was a Republican, until I read somewhere on here that he was DLC.
Ahhh, Harold.

17. He has always seemed so artificial and a panderer to the right wing.
Can't stand him or Lanny Davis
Now wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute.
".....a panderer to the right wing"?
Is there another former congressman Harold Ford from Tennessee?
And so perhaps franksolich has his Harolds mixed up?
Oh my.
