Ford is a conservative Dem. He has supported some of bush's policies and does support some Dem ones as well.

Thing is...TN is very tough for Dems. They have to be conservative in some ways or else they're without a job. That's just how it is here and there is no getting around it. We've got a Dem gov and even though he's a damn good one, he still has to walk a fine line between being a Dem and not totally pissing off the repukes since they've got so much power here.

Right-leaning ways is what helps TN Dems.

Oh, and Obama campaigned for Ford, too. That's why I want Ford to get home and do some work for Obama.
