Harold Ford, Jr. Calls For Democratic Unity Ticket

By Kleinheider Posted on May 7, 2008 at 8:08 am

Former Congressman and Senate candidate, Harold Ford, Jr., now chairman of the Democratic Leadership Council, suggests that being a “numbers guy” makes him a believer in the formidable nature of a joint Barack Obama/Hillary Clinton ticket. GoldnI translates what Ford is really saying:

“I’m aware that this is pretty much over and that Obama is going to win, but I can’t say that because that would piss off my DLC buddies. On the other hand, I can’t come out for Clinton because that would royally piss off the Memphis base that I need to support me if I ever run for office again. So I’ll just keep pushing for this ‘joint ticket’ so I won’t have to publicly decide.”
