Devolution of Harold Ford (video)

Harold Ford came close to being an important part of African American history. Do you remember the 2006 elections in November 2006 when he came so close to becoming a US Senator from Tennessee. I remember staying up on election night that year to see if he could join a short list of Black senators (beginning with Hiram Revels).

Ford lost the election. It appears that he may have lost his way as well. He left his home in Tennessee to take a job as a bank executive in New York. He still has a dream of making history.
Harold Ford wants to be the next elected senator from New York.

The folks at Brave New Films put together the following video to document the devolution of Harold Ford:

Ford is remaking himself as a pro-choice, pro-gay, pro-gun control progressive so he can fit in with the New York political scene. But unfortunately for Harold, this is the age of the Internet, and you can’t just walk away from your past statements.

What are your thoughts on Harold Ford? Do you think he will ever get back into Congress?
