I was unaware that Ford was thinking of running for Governor.
From the desk of Harold Ford, Jr.
After long thought, consultation and prayer with my wife, Emily, I’ve decided now is not the right time to re-enter elected politics. Therefore, I won’t be a candidate for Governor this year.
I want to personally thank the many across our state and country who urged me to run for Governor. There will be another race and time to ask for your support.
There is no way to adequately express my deep gratitude to those who share my passion for public service and, more importantly my strong desire to help our citizens through this trying economic time.
I also want to encourage my supporters to align with one of the other Democrats running. I urge our Democratic candidates running for Governor to organize your campaign around how to make Tennessee the most attractive 21st century economy of any state in the nation.

Ford Jr. has gone down hill since he supported the attack by the GOP on Obama. Fox News used him well and then tossed him out. Remember Ford was to be the spoke person for the Dems but he thought McCain would win so he changed sides while seating as a Dem.
