Harold Ford Jr., the former Tennesee Congressman who moved to NYC and took a job at Merill Lynch after losing a Senate race, looks set to run for the US Senate.
He announced his intentions this morning in the New York Post:
It's true: I am strongly considering running for the United States Senate.
I do so because our best as a nation has always come when we test our ideas and ourselves, and when we trust competition to refine the steel of our convictions and the truth of our arguments.
Some have already questioned whether I should be running.
Others are falsifying my record in public life.
New Yorkers deserve a free election.
New Yorkers expect a politics where politicians do what's right based on independent judgment, free of political bosses trying to dictate.
