New York Sun Concurs; Says Harold Ford Jr. Could Win In 2006

In today's New York Sun, writer Josh Gerstein shapes up the key races in the 2006 mid term elections.

In his analysis, he joins a growing majority of pundits and political experts which say Harold Ford Jr. can win the Tennessee Senate seate in 2006.

"Meanwhile, Democrats are hoping that a young African-American congressman will make history by winning a Senate race in Tennessee, and that in Pennsylvania the son of another famous governor can oust Senator Santorum, who looks vulnerable."

"In Tennessee, Rep. Harold Ford Jr., a Democrat, could win the seat being vacated by Senate Majority Leader Frist, who is keeping his pledge to leave the Senate after serving two terms. Mr. Ford, 35, would be the first African-American ever elected to the Senate from that state. At the moment, Republicans are splintered in a hotly contested three-way primary.

"It's going to be expensive. It's probably going to be ugly," Ms. Duffy said of Mr. Ford's race."

The list of people who believe Harold Ford Jr. can and will win in 2006 just keeps on growing.

Note: This is just one example in the long list of pundits and experts who believe Harold Ford Jr. can and will win in 2006.
