Encouraged by a group of influential New York Democrats, Harold Ford Jr., the former congressman from Tennessee, is weighing a bid to unseat Senator Kirsten E. Gillibrand in this fall’s Democratic primary, according to three people who have spoken with him.Let me be clear about this: I'd really think hard about voting for a Republican over Harold Ford. He's completely in the pocket of the monied interests on Wall Street, which is pretty easy to see when you look at both where he works (Merrill Lynch) and who wants him to run (Michael Bloomberg). A telling point is he is part of the Democratic group that is pretty much made of Republicans who fell into the vat of blue dye by mistake (the DLC). Ford would care for the issues which are important to the middle class about as much as did George Bush (father and son).
About the only way I'd vote for him would be if the Republicans persuaded Sarah Palin to relocate to New York and run against him, but even then, I'd probably write in somebody else.
