Poor Harold Ford, he looks like his ice cream cone fell on the pavement.

Now grasping for straws.... wants us to heed Pat Buchanan's words of wisdom, should consider Hillary for VP.

You lose again, Henry. Job outlook: Not promising.

11. Harold Ford is part of the reason why Obama is running the most DLC campaign in history
Ford predicted the DLC will play a major role in the issues debate that unfolds in the 2008 Democratic presidential primary process. The group will not side with any one candidate, he said, even though the organization has close ties to a number of potential nominees, from Vilsack to Sens. Hillary Rodham Clinton (N.Y.) and Joe Biden (Del.) to Gov. Bill Richardson (N.M.). Even Sen. Barack Obama (Ill.) has expressed interest in "finding ways he could work with the DLC," according to Ford. (Ford describes Obama as a "personal friend" and says they talk regularly.)

24. oh come on
It says clearly in the non-bolded part of the article that Hillary is closely tied to the DLC. Obama has merely discussed "work with the DLC". Hillary is in the DLC, Obama knows people in the DLC. Yep, Obama has run a far more DLC campaign.

30. Hillary is a card carrying member & Obama is as DLC as it gets w/o having to sign up
I hope you didn't really think you were supporting someone who wasn't DLC? Do some homework and you'll find out that Obama has DLC written all over him.

25. Oh, I never bought that. He screwed himself. DLC candidates cannot won any more
now that most Democrats know what they are. He lost his contest the day he crashed Corker's presser in the parking lot. I knew it right at that moment. He was ahead, he got cocky, and he blew it.

43. It did. He's one of a half dozen black politicians who were led to believe they might be Hill's VP
I'm sure she's been weaving that tale and throwing that bait out there to guys like Harold Ford and Nutter, from PA.

46. Harold Ford can go suck an egg!
People like Hillary and Harold have neutered the once strong Democratic party by allowing it to be absorbed by the "republican revolution."
