And I bet Ford could help in Virginia, Ohio, Kentucky and Arkansas.

1. I believe Ford is thehead of DLC,
he is too moderate/conservative for me.

18. Hillary is on the leadership team
and Bill Clinton spoke at their convention last year. They are totally DLC. This ticket actually makes perfect sense.

6. Harold Ford is WAY too conservative for my tastes.
However, he is feisty! I'll never forget the way he confronted that congresswoman from Ohio that referred to Cong. Jack Murtha as a coward! He practically ran toward her as soon as she finished uttering her filth. I thought he was going to deck her.

7. No, I don't see it...Phil Bredesen...yeah, he might be able to do it...
He's our Gov and managed to get re-elected. He's done some good things here and is very popular.

I see that accentuating all Hillary's negatives, thank you, no....Ford is such the epitomy of DLC with shades (nearly) of Lieberman in his penchance for selling out Dem ideals. No thanks

Bad choice for Pres. Worse choice for VP. There is a certain amount of triangulation about it, if you like that sort of thing....

13. I'd rather put my fingers in the blender than vote for that ticket.
But, even if I had 12 fingers, they couldn't hold my nose that tightly.

16. LOL.. do you live in Tennessee? Harold sealed his fate when he lined up with DLC, and
is not electable in any form. Nor is Hillary going to win Tennessee.

I bet that is exactly who she would choose, especially if things get more tense with African Americans.

19. I doubt Hillary can win TN
and Harold isn't very popular in East TN so I doubt that would help.

I saw the fund-raising figures. Outside of Memphis she's gotten her ass kicked, in donations. That was including 3rd quarter of last year. 4th Q comes out at the end of this month.

25. Hell, why not just get Lieberman for VP again, that will motivate progressives to get out and vote.
