Ford Keeps Talking Senate Bid
In an interview with the New York Times, Harold Ford Jr. offered “a glimpse into a possible campaign strategy” saying “he would run as an insurgent who is uncontrolled by the entrenched political class” that he says has rallied around Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY).
Said Ford: “If I am elected senator from New York, Harry Reid will not instruct me how to vote.”
Some interesting items: Ford only rides the subway when he can’t catch a taxi in the winter, he “has breakfast most mornings at the Regency Hotel on Park Avenue, and he receives regular pedicures. (He described them as treatment for a foot condition.)”
He also says he remains a hunter, saying with a smile, “I shoot at things that can’t shoot back and will continue to do that.”
