It appears that someone in the Obama Administration is floating Harold Ford’s name as the next Secretary of Commerce Nominee.
Admittedly, he didn’t go as far as Lieberman in slamming Obama in the general, but he certainly came close, probably because he thought that he could be president one day.
He’s where he is because he is a member of a corrupt political dynasty, and he’s a political opportunists even by the standards of Washington, DC.
This would be asking for a knife in the back.
