Harold is a corporate wolf in sheep's clothing. If voters want more Democrats who stand up strong for the corporation, vote for Harold Ford Jr.

For whatever reason the change, I applaud the change. Gay marriage is an idea whose time has come, and as more and more politicians embrace the idea, the closer we come to the reality. Harold Ford is an old school politician, despite being relatively young and black - and this change is a significant one.
