I watched an interview with him on Real Time with Bill Maher, and his campaign is so straightforward and honest. It's refreshing and suprising.<BR/><BR/>Ken Melhmen is the the chair of the Republican National Committee, and a jerk. He apparantly saw nothing wrong wit the negative ad about Ford, yet he then pulled it out of rotation. Nothing wrong wit the ad? Please. <BR/><BR/>According to the article, the ads unsaid message is "If these and the hundreds of local ads like them are to be believed, politicians in America are tax-and-spend, sex-crazed criminals who want to take medicine away from sick people." [**& you spelled unsaid wrong in the post, mr. brown :-(]<BR/><BR/><BR/>The Michael J. Fox ad is devastatingly sad and plays on the emotional heartstrings of voters. It was a cheap tactic but the resulting comments from a one Rush Limbaugh attracted negative attention to Republicans resulting in a public apology from Limbaugh. (He said he thought poor Michael J. Fox was FAKING his symptoms of Parkinsons for the ad.) <BR/><BR/>Ford's thoughts on all of the issues are plainly laid out on http://www.ontheissues.org/House/Harold_Ford.htm! It can't be too much easier than that. So are his opponent's issues, Bob Corker (http://www.ontheissues.org/Senate/Bob_Corker.htm). This website has made it terribly easy for Tennessee. <BR/><BR/>And obviously the internet is a great resource for voters to inform themselves.
