"Let's drop the ads, the negative campaigning and all the press aides. Let's just go one-on-one and let people know where we stand on all the issues," said Ford, a Memphis Democrat who had nominal opposition in the Aug. 3 primary.
Ford said that he wasn't espousing a total drop of advertising or media play. "You've got to have that, too."
