Politics: Harold Ford explains why he isn’t running, blames the party

  • The cruel twist, of course, is that the party bosses who tried to intimidate me so that I wouldn’t even think about running against Senator Kirsten Gillibrand, who had been appointed to the seat by Gov. David A. Paterson, are the same people responsible for putting Democratic control of the Senate at risk.
  • Harold Ford Jr. • In an editorial explaining why he chose not to run for the New York Senate despite pushing hard to make his move. This quote seems a weeee bit pissed off for some reason. We’re not sure why. But like we said last night, Gawker is responsible for his campaign going nowhere. Because they made it clear that he was both completely incompetent and sounded like a carpetbagger. source
