If His Father Isn't Sure, Should We Be












This question has come up over and over again. Is Harold Ford Sr., supporting his son Jake? Who is running as an Independent Democrat. In the 9th congressional district race. I have heard him on at least one commercial endorsing Jake. Which I didn't find very convincing. As a father, of course he isn't going to denounce his son.He isn't raising a fuss either.He hasn't launched an all out campaign. Like he did for Harold Jr., who is now running for the senate. I haven't seen him pounding the pavement, for any of his other sons.He has another son Isaac. What does this really mean? I feel me and the senior Harold, know the same thing. I don't think he has the juice in the city, he once had. The Memphis voters are more Independent these days. Largely due to politicians like his son. It's not about what you say, but how you vote.

As far as his community influence goes. He still has some, but not as much as we think. Legally it's not even supposed to be a vote. He doesn't live in Memphis anymore. I think what influence he has, he saves it for winning causes. I don't think he expects his son to win. So he isn't attaching his name to a sinking ship. If he hasn't gained the support of his father. What has he done to warrant yours?

I don't think he is going all out for Jake either.When it comes to district 9. The name itself might be enough.

I wouldn't expect him not to support his son. Under any crcumstance he wants the best for him. Even mass murderers still have people that love them.

Jake has built a career around pointing out the shortcomings of Steve Cohen. He has done a good job of doing so, I might add. I don't think Harold Ford sr. is going to waste his juice on Jake. The support he's going to get, he'll get anyway.
