Have You Driven A Ford (Out Of The Race) Lately?

NY Times is reporting Harold Ford, Jr. is dropping out of the primary for Democratic Senator Kirsten Gillibrand's seat.

He has told friends that, while he is convinced he could prevail against Ms. Gillibrand, he feared the winner of the primary would have little money and remain highly vulnerable to a well-financed Republican challenger at a time when the Democratic party controls the Senate by a slim majority.

“I’ve examined this race in every possible way, and I keep returning to the same fundamental conclusion: If I run, the likely result would be a brutal and highly negative Democratic primary — a primary where the winner emerges weak-ened and the Republican strengthened,” Mr. Ford wrote in an opinion article to be published in Tuesday’s edition of The New York Times

I refuse to do anything that would help Republicans win a Senate seat in New York, and give the Senate majority to the Republicans.”

Ford's crazy.  He had no chance running as a moderate Republican in a NY Dem primary.  He was just being a douchebag, and you know, David Paterson kinda filled the quota already.

See ya, Harold.
