  •  Good Morning Everybody, (5+ / 0-)

    This fine Friday I have a question to fro the good people of Dkos.

    For any of you who are not aware I am a foreign Kossac, one of many I'm sure, And as such my knowledge of your politician's political tendencies within the democratic party is mediocre at best.

    So I turn to you American kossacs to fill me in on Harold Ford Jr. Is he a liberal progressive or a conservative democrat?

    I have been Watching him lately on MSNBC and I remember all he praise that was showered on him during the last congressional elections, which he lost I gather, and something of an incongruent picture of him has developed in my mind.

    He is so deceptively objective in his views about the race on MSNBC's R.T.W.H that while continuously ignoring blatant facts, he in fact is propagating Clitonian talking points on every single issue. I have heard him say that he likes both candidates and will remain neutral until the convention. Yet his views on issues raised, from Rev. Wright to polls favouring Obama to the effects of a divisive nomination fight, have been amzingly parallel to the Clinton line.

    Now there is no doubt in my mind that he is a brilliant young man, but so far I have found his intellegence calculating and manipulative.

    Am I wrong? Am I judging him too harshly? fill me in kossacs please.
