Conservative or not, Harold is in the mold of the Clintons. He's the leader of "Clinton's" DLC. Hilliary moved into the State and won, so Harold Ford should be able to do the same. He is part of the Clinton "family".

Always hoped he would try and run in NY, good luck to him. Sure would rather have had Harold than Corker as a voice for TN right now.

As everybody on Knoxviews,that was around in '06,knows.

I worked very hard to get Harold elected.

I was hopeful we could win..we didn't

I like Harold,think he's one smart
cookie & I have great respect for him.

And I have not changed my mind about him.

Still believe Harold would be an
outstanding senator.

It's pretty clear,to me anyway,that the
question is not if Harold will run for
office in NY but when.

I am hopeful that when Harold decides
to run in NY,either this year or in
the future,he wins!

In politics,over the years,I have forged political
alliances with candidates & public officials.

Those political alliances have allowed me to
better understand those individuals.

Therefore,when those individuals cast votes or take
stands on specfic issues that are contrary to the
positions..I may hold..

I am able to support them,in elections,
because I know they are doing what they
believe is in the the public's best interest.

Futhermore,the individuals I support do agree with
me on the "big picture" of political issues.

For example,I supported Bob Booker to be appointed
to the vacancy on city council.

However,I disagreed with Bob's vote on covenience
voting.

I made my position clear..Bob made his clear.

The issue was debated & voted on.

Bob & I remain political allies.

Because we agreed on the big picture of the
direction Knoxville needed to go.

The same goes for Jim Cooper.

I've been a political ally of Jim's
for almost 3 decades.

We don't always agree on specfics but we
do agree on the direction of the country.

I would cite Jim's vote on the House Health Care
Reform bill as one example.

I had met Harold,a few times,but,a decade ago,
I sat & talked with Harold when Mary Littleton
brought him by DTV.

From that point on Harold & I became
political allies.

That is why..I will support Harold in any
political campaign he chooses to enter.

Because,like with Bob & Jim,I know that Harold
,as a public official,will always do what he thinks
is best for the folks he the represents.
