I'm tired of it too as a Tennesseean voter. Ford won his primary and is doing the hard work. He isn't the perfect liberal candidate I wish for (my dream) but this is Tennessee. And Ford is being as real as possible to people. He isn't a liberal but I personally haven't heard him bash us either but just stating the truth which is what we need in a politician now days. There are a good number of things I personally disagree with him on but he will do the better job for this state and we need someone who cares about health care and balancing a budget and that Ford seems to care about. Sometime last year I believe it was (or earlier this year) I saw him on CSPAN ripping some Bush crony about the budget and that's when I started watching him. I think he will do a better job at listening to Tennessee voters and really doing their business in DC unlike Corker. He is not for "Staying the course" In Iraq even though I disagree with his plan he at least has something and historical history to point to as well to show people. Plus it would be nice to have a democrat as my senator. He will also be the first black man to serve the state of Tennessee as a Senator if he wins on Nov 7th.
