Harold Ford, Jr. At Netroots Nation

Nashville progressive, Ilissa Gold is down at Netroots Nation and was in the room when Junior and the Kos met again:

I had a great question to ask Harold Ford. I was going to get up there and tell him that I was an intern of his during the campaign. He kept referencing Phil Bredesen as an example of a conservative Southern Democrat who won overwhelmingly. I wanted to ask, in that case, why he thinks Bredesen won and he lost–after all, he ran as a similar type of conservative Democrat, and it couldn’t have JUST been the “Hey Harold, call me” ad that caused him to lose.

But I couldn’t ask my question. I was at the front of the line when they announced they were out of time. The five people who had asked questions before me had all asked quite possibly the most long-winded questions possible. Most of them were about FISA.
