He was elected to represent the Ninth District of Tennessee in 1996 at age 26, and is now serving in his fourth term in the House. (For more information about Rep. Ford's legislative priorities and career, please visit his official web site.

Team Kerry welcomes him aboard!

1. I'm not a big Ford fan

Although this probably helps Kerry among moderates, Ford is a bit too conservative for my liking...although if he were more liberal, he probably couldn't be elected in Tennessee.

6. Same with Feinstein. And Biden.

Would think they would line up more philosophically with Joe. Hmmm.

3. Cool, this is a good move

I'm pleased Kerry is putting a black man in such a prominent position, the Democratic party sometimes neglects this important demographic, in my opinion. The more minorities that vote Dem, the better. This will also probably give Kerry a boost in the states with a large black community.

4. Donna Brazile who is black was Gore's campaign manager.

5. Didn't know that

I know who she is, but I didn't realize she was his campaign manager. Good for him.
