Obama Envy

The Black Snob tries to imagine what Harold Ford, Jr. might think of Barack Obama:

Is there any envy there? Why not? Who isn’t envious of someone on the rise who could both make history and get to be the leader of the free world? But I don’t think Ford would do anything to jeopardize an administration he likely wants to join. Once the dust settles on the convention floor and Obama is the nominee it will become obvious what all the fund-raising was for. Ford is a pure politician. He may never make it to the senate or be governor of Tennessee, but he can ride the Obama wave to bigger and better things once he’s done playing pretty, pretty pundit with the networks. There is still political life left in Ford.

He’s not going to be so harsh to alienate himself from what could be his political future. There are still trails left for him to blaze.
