Harold Ford Jr. is about as far right as you can go and still be a Democrat, he's been a consistent supporter of the president and the war publicly, and through most of his voting record I believe, so what does it say when he's begun to question the direction of the war on a right wing Fox show?

Of course Ford doesn't have to worry about reelection, but I think this represents something of a shift in his position.

I had a chance to watch the AFL-CIO debate, and anyone watching Obama these days can see that he is definitely the only Democratic candidate breaking new ground, and going places where others fear to tread, that's what it takes to be a leader, and that's why Hillary Clinton is so afraid of him.  She is right to be afraid, because the American people have had their fill of politics as usual, and politicians who go along to get along, whilst not representing the best interests of the American people and our country.  Obama is the only candidate who has the guts to at least try and give the American people what they're screaming for, and that is real change, change that will correct the doomed course this nation is on.

I watched Hillary closely in that debate, and she was playing the fear cards, the same tactics the Republicans used in the 2004 election, but she's a little too late to that party, that tact just isn't going to work in the 2008 election.

But by and large they were involved in black rights in Memphis when most of you were still in diapers. When you decide they are worthless, please give a nod to the fact that when they spoke "truth to power" it was exactly that and not some leftie babbling nonsense.
