Senate hopeful Harold Ford Jr. made his first upstate trip to Albany and Buffalo. While the Democratic establishment is reluctant to pull the rug on their incumbent Senator....Mr. Ford seems to leave a good impression.....As the prospects get shaky for Democrats in marginal seats, Ford is likely to find enough good stuff in visits like this to justify a run. He needs people to rally behind him if he is to beat Kirsten Gillibrand, as affability and charm can only go so far.
His first trip upstate was not very imaginative, as he stopped in upstate's two most Democratic enclaves.
Senate hopeful Harold Ford lands in Buffalo for learning experience in Kirsten Gillibrand country

I like Harold Ford. I really hope he is able to pull this off but I think he might have gotten in over his head. There are so many forces stacked against him (particularly Chuckles Schumer) that it would seem to be a herculean task before him. But if anyone can do it, he can. he's a smart guy and a good guy.
That being said, a lot of people who should know better are predicting that 2010 will be a Republican year. They aren't paying attention. The extremists within that party will only continue to destroy it. Anyone who thinks that 2010 is going to be a Republican year had better think again. The Tea Party knuckleheads are already taking credit for the Massachusetts upset last week and are set (they believe) to take over the party. When they are denied the opportunity to do that, they'll splinter the vote with third or even fourth party uprisings.
How am I so sure of this? It's quite simple, really. These people are not only crazy, they're dumber than doggy dung. It's only a matter of months before their mad house of cards comes crashing down.
