Pollster.com shows that Harold Ford Jr. and Bob Corker are in something of a dead heat coming up to the November 9 elections. I'm not sure why, but Bob Corker has decided that he only wants to make appearances at highly white events with few cameras.

In contrast, Harold Ford Jr. has been making the rounds and kicking ass. Below is a clip of Harold Ford Jr. on Bill Maher.




Also, kudos to Chris Wallace who had Harold Ford Jr. on Fox News Sunday (sorry, couldn't find it on YouTube)and didn't do a political hit job, a la Bill Clinton. In fact, Wallace was extremely fair to Ford while he was on the air (pointing out that they invited Bob Corker, but his hatchet wound was hurting too much that morning to make it on national TV. Has he been on national TV? Don't think so), but he actually tore (former) Sen. Rick Santorum a new asshole in the segment after Ford. In fact, Chris Wallace went so far as to defend Ford's position on gay marriage when Libby Dole tried to do her own political hit job on Ford. Wallace gave Dole and Chuck Schumer "30 seconds on how voter turnout efforts were going to influence the election." Dole took the opportunity to point out that she thought Ford has misrepresented himself, then went on to say that he supported gay marriage and the abortion pill for little girls. That's about as far as she got before Wallace cut her off and actually set the record straight. You heard it here first: Fox was actually fair and balanced for once.
