Reid to Ford: Drop Dead

If Politico is correct Harry Reid personally attempted to shiv former House Rep. Harold Ford Jr.'s plans to contest Kirsten Gillibrand's nomination for the New York Senate seat.

I personally suspect that Harold Ford Jr.'s relatively conservative voting record as a member of the House of Representatives owed more (much more) to his ambition to represent Tennessee in the Senate than to personal conviction.

That said - if Politico is correct that Harry Reid personally attempted to shiv Ford's new project to contest Kirsten Gillibrand's nomination for the New York Senate seat - the mind speculates: with Rudy out and Lazio so unpromising, wouldn't it be fun to offer Ford the Republican line?
