Ford On The Fifth



After looking at the numbers in last week's primary, I'm not so sure Mark Luttrell is a sure thing in the county mayor's race after all. Unlike the national trend sweeping the nation. Shelby county is still a Democratic stronghold. Mark Luttrell, for reasons of practical politics and personal philosophy, resists being drawn in to discussions of parties or demographics. Seeing Ford draw 20,360 of the 35,554 votes cast in the Democratic primary. While Luttrell got 28,538 of the 29,415 Republican votes is reason for concern. Even with a turnout of only 10%, Democrats still had the biggest share.

With his uninspired speeches and lack of a platform Joe Ford proved that the citizens don't require a long list of credits. Mark Luttrell having $152,000 in his campaign chest would be overwhelming to most other candidates, but not Joe Ford.
You can't buy his name recognition. Even though it's not all good. His family has a history dating back almost forty years. All things considered. It might be Ford on the fifth.
