Hopefully Edmund Ford couldn't possibly win any seat other than the one presently held by his son. But stranger things have happened. You would think he would get somewhere keep a low profile and be quiet. Since it was by the grace of God that he wasn't found guilty in his last trial. It was like payback for the Rodney King verdict. He got off in spite of them having him taking money on tape.This is exactly what I was afraid would happen when he got off. Instead of being humbled by the experience and cleaning up their act. He would feel vindicated and show up somewhere else in politics. Now we see another one of those backroom deals that got him in trouble when he was in office. Coming out and rearing it's ugly head at the worst possible time.

Why would Edmund Ford enter into the special election? He has to know he has about as much chance of winning as a ice cube lasting in an oven. I bet he won't spend over a hundred dollars on this campaign. He can do whatever damage he is going to do for free. Any votes he is going to get he already has. Just the mention of his name brought out the television cameras and news reporters. Now hemust be considered as a serious candidate. Even though he has the credibility of a can of kraut. At first I thought Carol Chumney may have been behind all these people getting in the race. After further thought I eliminated her as a possibility. Willie Herenton deciding not to resign wouldn't be to her benefit. It would only prolong her agony. Then it came to me who it would benefit and why. The more time and energy Willie Herenton spends on being the Mayor of Memphis. The less time he has to focus on running for Congress and beating him. Him being none other than the infamous Steve Cohen. Just last week Harold Ford Sr. held a fundraiser for him. But we know money doesn't necessarily mean votes. Even though Edmund and his family don't get along. Blood is still thicker than water. I bet big brother Harold had a word with him. Ed Ford joining the race is courtesy of Cohen.
