Meet Harold Ford Jr. who running in the Senate race in Tennessee.
The GOP has updated the attack with what may be the lamest criticism of the entire election season.
Don't tell us that Rep. Harold E. Ford Jr.'s past relationship with a local college coed is the most Republicans can muster in diverting attention from the Mark Foley congressional page scandal.
"More Details of Ford's Fancy Fling" — or so blares the National Republican Senatorial Committee's headline about the personal life of the Tennessee Democrat, who is in a tight race for his state's open Senate seat.
The so-called "fling" was several years ago, when the unmarried Mr. Ford was celebrating his 31st birthday at Georgetown's Paolo's restaurant and laid eyes on Julia Baugher, then a sophomore at Georgetown University (after graduation, she penned a column in New York about dating. In fact, she wrote about the couple's otherwise ordinary relationship for Cosmopolitan.)
As the Memphis Flyer quotes Miss Baugher, "Other than a fabulous weekend ski vacation and a few fancy dinners, all Harold gave me was the certainty that dating a [politician] is overrated."
Let me get this straight — the National Republican Senatorial Committee is not only interested in Ford's personal life, the NRSC also finds it fascinating that a 31-year-old bachelor went out with a college student. That's it. No weird sexual scandals, no untoward lobbying contracts for the girlfriend, no illicit pictures. Republicans genuinely believe Ford having dated someone should be a campaign issue.
I know the Republicans are getting desperate, but are they really this pathetic?

GOP need to worry about cleaning up their own party and scandals than attacking Ford's private life!

He really is good looking and if I were 30 again well I'd give him my number. Now as to the GOP well it was nice that they showed Republican voters that Ford is a gentleman.
