I am dissapointed that Harold Ford is not slamming McCain's Stunt
after David Schuster asked if this stunt of suspending the campaign helps McCain. Harold then said that he would have done the same as McCain to get the attention of the press because his campaign was going down. Harold Ford is not s good surrogate for Obama. I'd rather have Debbi Wasserman Schultz any day.

8. Not really, he was kind-of neutral. I wanted him to say to Schuster that it was a stunt
with obvious political implications.

6. I don't like Ford, but that DID seem like a slam to me.
"Yeah, I'd do the same thing if I was flaming out, too"

10. At least he essentially supported the idea that this was a stunt.
You never know what you're going to hear from Harold.

17. Uh, Harold Ford is the same person that said McCain's "That's not change you can believe in"..
..was a great speech.

Harold Ford is an idiot.

24. He's much better alone but when he has a right wing light paper bag to go against
he folds and agrees with them. Luckily today he was facing nobody.
He did say the McCain would look really bad if he was a no show.
