Harold Ford seems to think (IMO) that Hillary will win both NC and IN...

[jenmito]

I saw him on Morning Joe and then just again on Hardball. He keeps saying that Hillary's "gas tax vacation" is a good idea, he agrees with it, saying voters WANT a short-term "fix" re: gas prices (regardless of what the economists say), and ends his statements by saying he thinks one of them (Hillary or Obama) will win BOTH states. He doesn't say which one, but by his comments, he clearly means Hillary. :eyes:

[cjsmom]

1. Harold Ford

would make a good VP choice for Hillary. IMHO

[jenmito]

2. He sure would-they're both DLC. But she won't be the nominee.

[K Gardner]

5. Yes.. he would.. with both of them on the Republican ticket.

[billyoc]

33. I couldn't agree more, she should announce that she's picking him as VP right away.

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:
:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[sandnsea]

3. I was home 3 minutes

That shit came on - and I'm back to Gunsmoke.

[jenmito]

I don't blame you.

[jefferson_dem]

30. Same here. Just clicked on MSNBC and could stand no more than 2 minutes of their yapping.

I'm through with those fucking imbecilic talking hacks.

[SoCalDem]

4. SENATOR Harold Ford???

:rofl:

the congressman greatly overestimated HIS OWN popularity, gambled on a senate run and LOST.. His great DLC didn't help HIM win a senate seat ..so I don't think I would take words from his mouth as gospel:)

[jenmito]

11. Yeah. Him. I was rooting for him against the Repub. and felt bad for him when they

ran that Playboy ad against him, but now he's clearly for Hillary. And I now don't like him.

[SoCalDem]

15. I always pegged him as sneaky..and a fence-straddler

a typical DLC guy

[PaDem]

32. He ran an incompetent campaign that............

tried to appeal to the lowest common denominator, which his opponent already had locked up.

[Kittycat]

6. I actually took it the other way.

He mentioned that Obama was polling well, and seemed to have turned things around.

[jenmito]

13. I heard it with a big "but" after the compliments about Obama.

[Bucky]

7. I love her idea of taxing the oil companies directly. No WAY they pass THAT cost onto the consumer!

Geeze.

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

8. Harold Ford chair of the DLC. I'm shocked to hear that he backs Hilly.

And, the last time I checked water is still wet.

[K Gardner]

9. Harold is a DLC pawn, has been shilling for Hill for months. He began the runup to this by saying

a few weeks ago that "the winner of NC will be the nominee". I'm going to hold his smarmy mouth to that when Obama wins NC and hope he will STFU.

And Jen.. TURN OFF MSNBC !! :nuke:

[jenmito]

20. I know. He's been saying that for weeks. He said it again today...

I'm really starting to fear she may pull off a 1-point victory in NC. They were showing a poll where Hillary is now getting 18% of the Black vote in NC along with the Limbaughians and Bill Clinton making about 9 appearances there today alone. Darn it...I can't turn off MSNBC! I can't look away! HELP!

[K Gardner]

23. Tis like guillotine execution.. you vish to turn avay, but you cannot !!

[jenmito]

26. Yeah...

I guess.

[VenusRising]

10. Harold Ford is on the DLC Leadership Team

and chairman of the DLC. Hillary is chair of the DLC's American Dream Initiative. It's really not a surprise that he would still be pushing Hillary's nomination.

[grantcart]

12. He isn't an idiot he's a pretentious idiot

[Stinky The Clown]

14. I saw the same thing this morning (didn't see the afternoon show).

I was thinking he was equivocating for Clinton's benefit, but that he thought it would be Obama to win both.

In hindsight, if he thought that, he probably would not have mentioned it at all, given his support for Clinton.

[graycem]

16. Funny thing is

I always thought he was a Republican, until I read somewhere on here that he was DLC. Ahhh, Harold. :crazy:

[biscotti]

17. He has always seemed so

artificial and a panderer to the right wing.
Can't stand him or Lanny Davis :puke:

[monmouth]

24. I've always had the feeling since Barack got into the campaign that

little Howie was a wee bit jealous. Sort of thought he should be "the one to break the color barrier." Could be my tinfoil is a little tight, but he has never given much towards Barack and I find that odd.

[TeamJordan23]

18. Harold Ford and Joe Scarbrough both seem to be in Hillary's corner. nm

[jenmito]

41. If Scarborough was any MORE in her corner, he'd be ON her.

[TexanDem]

19. Take a look at DLC leadership and then decide how objective he is! (link->

http://www.dlc.org/ndol_ka.cfm?kaid=137

[Stop Cornyn]

21. If he thinks Hillary's gonna win NC, then he's just ill-informed. It's not like he lied about sniper

fire or anything that would disqualify him from any future elections.

[natrat]

22. that fucking scumbag must have inside info on how they will steal

[hell-bent]

52. Oh, so that's the word if Obama gets his ass

handed to him tomorrow,eh. Steal? You Obamatrons are really air heads.

[spanone]

25. harold is a fool, he also broadly supported the bu$h* invasion and occupation of iraq

[Dr.Phool]

27. He thought that he'd win in Tennessee.

Call me Harold.

[K Gardner]

UPDATE: I turned on CNN tonight since I read here today it was declared a "WRIGHT FREE ZONE".. and

by George, there was Wolfman pelting his panel with questions about Wright and a HUGE banner that ran underneath the segment the entire time saying:

HOW MUCH HAS WRIGHT HURT OBAMA?? (even tho no one really talked about Wright and focused on the fact that HRC is LOSING and always has been LOSING)

Cafferty let him have it.. AGAIN..told him they were INVENTING something that didn't exist, laid out the impossibility of Hillary "winning", and Wolf sputters and says: "Well, its not over till its over! Gloria.. what do YOU think?"

Gloria ran the numbers, which looked like also like an impossibility. Wolfie and his corporate masters just will not let it go.

[TexanDem]

29. I heard it - switched to MSNBC, David Gregory was worse abt Wright than CNN.

[jenmito]

35. Yup! They're ALL still talking about Wright!

[jenmito]

34. Jeez! They're still talking about Wright EVERYWHERE-including the IL tv market, which

I heard today is HURTING Obama in NW Indiana!

[Cha]

28. Isn't he paid to lie? 'Cause if he's not..

you could have fooled me.

[Zodiak]

31. Here's the kicker

As head of the DLC he is not supposed to be promoting ANY candidate. He doesn't have any other job, so he cannot hide behind that.

So if he is promoting Hillary directly and unabashedly, he is actually violating the law

My guess is that he is walking the fine line legally, but what else would you expect from the DLC but self-promotion? Their entire career is built around being juuuuuusst to the left of the Republicans and being the lesser of two evils while pretending the rest of the Democratic party doesn't exist.

Oh, and they excel at losing elections...and a great job they are doing this time, eh?

[jenmito]

38. I know! It makes me so angry! He's not saying WHO he thinks will win both, but he

talks about how great he thinks Hillary's tax sham is. Then on Hardball he asked the Hillary supporter from NC if SHE thinks Hillary's gas tax vacation is working, and of course she said YES.

[TheDudeAbides]

36. I didn't hear it that way

I actually thought Ford was insinuating that Obama was going to take both states.
But, I could be wrong.

Ford is a good man, and I think we'll see more of him years down the road.

[jenmito]

39. He was pretending to be neutral, but if you read between the lines, he was clearly

implying things would break HER way.

[Webster Green]

37. He is a right-wing asshole!

I never could stand that little weasel. :thumbsdown:

[jenmito]

40. Yeah, and you know it's true when Joe Scarborough agrees with him. But Joe

predicted straight out that Hillary would win both states tomorrow. I can't stand him with his slits for eyes.

[Heather MC]

44. Harold Ford Jr. said, "$50 will buy a lot of lunch meat."

He was on Hardball defending McCain and Hillary's retarded gas plan.
He inflated the numbers families would save to 48 bucks a month

Then he said, "you know to us that's not a lot of money, but for a lot of people in Indiana and NC
$50 is a lot of money. $50 could buy a lot of lunch meat."

What are they thinking these poor country, working class, uneducated, limited infromation voters, are dying to but LUNCH MEAT"

Careful Harold, your elitest is showing...

[jenmito]

45. Yeah, I saw that. Why didn't SOMEONE respond saying the oil companies will just raise the price and

people won't get ANY money?

[Heather MC]

48. This whole section of the Hardball show ....

was so grossly slanted toward Hillary

They never really answered any questions directly. and now Julie Boseman is saying the savings is $.30 a gallon.
Ok I have accepted that
Hillary is a liar
Bill is liar
but can't they get campaign supporters that can tell the truth??

I guess it's true birds of a feather flock together

[jenmito]

49. I know! It's like the media is doing its best to give Hillary the wins!

[K Gardner]

47. ROFL !! Gas tax holiday so you can buy SPAM... wonder if HRCs refrig looks like..

[Heather MC]

51. mmmm Black Pepper flavored spam, gaul dang! how you'd knows dats my favorite!!!

Shoot me an my brother-husband usta sit under the apple tree down by ole man jenkins farm and make out and eat black pepper favored spam, alllllllll day! Maybe ifen Ole senator Clinton can pass that thar gas tax holiday

me and my's brother-husband, go backs to that ole tree and sit a spell and eat spam again, ta cel-brate.

That thar Sentator Clinton Sho' do get my vote. I'll vote fer anybody who gets me mo' spam

golly thanks!

[Iceburg]

42. Harold Ford is a class act. Hope he runs for the presidency in the future.

[jenmito]

46. Who would you vote for if it was between Ford and Gore?

[joeybee12]

43. Nope, it'll be a split...

...but I bet he means Hilary.

[Traction311]

50. Laugh all you want at him

I bet he could pull off more white votes than Obama, had he won his Senate race and ran for president in 2012.

[joeybee12]

53. Not mine...while I simply distrust Obama on gay issues, I KNOW Ford is

a homophobe.

[Traction311]

55. Not you and a lot of us here

That I agree on. But Joe-Undecided-White-Voter would pull the lever for him a lot fater than Obama, that's for certain.

[jenmito]

54. Who's laughing?
