I’m surprised this came so soon, but the NYtimes is reporting that Harold Ford is out of the New York Senate race.

Here’s the NYtimes article.

I don’t think anyone thought Ford was actually going to run …
1.) He had a free-hosted blog as his campaign web site.
2.) He had a bunch of weird responses to his tax filings.
3.) He kept flip flopping on basic issues.

Previously I wrote about Harold Ford here.

I wanted to drop a quick note on the G.O.P. delay of the unemplyment extensions recently.

Don’t think that it is only Jim Bunning from Kentucky, rather Bunning is retiring this term so he is the perfect Republican representative to delay a politically favorable piece of legislation for Democrats by the Republicans.

It seems to have worked, people are blaming Bunning independently as opposed to the GOP Senate obstructionism as a whole.
