1. Won't work.

I can't see where he has any chance at all.

[FBaggins]

3. Little to no chance to beat her...

...but he could make her re-election more difficult.

[Nicholas D Wolfwood]

2. We have open seats in far more conservative areas than NY.

If he wants to run, perhaps he should consider those opportunities instead. We can do a lot better in New York, however.

[FBaggins]

6. He wouldn't satisfy the residency requirements in most states.

He moved to NY a couple years ago.

[Nicholas D Wolfwood]

7. Either way, we've got far better options.

My point is that I wouldn't mind having Ford where he was in Tennessee or as a replacement for Ben Nelson in Nebraska. We won't get a progressive with a chance at victory in those places. NY, on the other hand, we can do a LOT better.

[FBaggins]

9. Who said this is about "we" ???

Dodd's decision is about "we"... Ford's is about Ford.

HE may not have better options and may not CARE about what options WE have.

13. The people still vote, right? (nt)

4. DLC = EVIL

5. Curious- has anyone ever run for Senate in one state- lost- then run for Senate in another?

How about a losing in a southern state- and then running in a northern state?

8. What an arrogant POS...he should shut up and go away...n/t

[freddie mertz]

11. Ford sucks. nt.

[Bolo Boffin]

12. He's also vice chair of Merrill Lynch

As if there weren't enough to induce vomiting...

14. He has been for 2 months

I posted that 2 months ago, and people on here thought I was crazy and that I was making shit up.
