There is all this slap and tickle going on amongst Kossacks with the DINO known as Harold Ford Jr. Here's a taste of what he's really like.
I hope this will give some of you pause about pouring on the "netroots support" for the beloved DLC goldenboy wannabe.
Local blogger LeftWing Cracker has some wonderful commentary on the whole thing.

POLITICS: Jaking It
Rep. Ford tells nominee Cohen face to face that he won't endorse him.
By JACKSON BAKER
...
Cohen happened to bump into his party's U.S. Senate nominee, Harold Ford Jr., at a Midtown hostelry last week. And, oh yes, during the three minutes or so that the two men of the hour had for a brief but cordial (or, in diplomatic parlance, "correct") conversation, the question of the hour came up.
The longtime state senator from Midtown had the opportunity to ask the outgoing 9th District congressman directly: Will you endorse me?
Ford's answer: "I can support you, but I won't endorse you." (If that sounds ever so much like John Kerry's famous equivocation about an Iraq spending measure, "I voted for it before I voted against it," you have to remember that Ford was an early supporter - a national co-chairman, in fact - of the Massachusetts senator's late presidential campaign.)
