HAROLD FORD NOT RUNNING FOR TN GOV
Via the Corner, the Nashville Post announces that Harold Ford is not throwing his hat into the Governor's race. In a press release, he writes:
"After long thought, consultation and prayer with my wife, Emily, I’ve decided now is not the right time to re-enter elected politics. Therefore, I won’t be a candidate for Governor this year."
David, that opens up the race -- you in? We could turn this site temporarily into Evangelicals for David.
(Confession: I like Harold Ford in spite of myself! This photo, which was pubbed in the Nashville Post, is such a powerful picture of the handsome politician and some of the deep rooted social issues he had to campaign against.)
