I like(d) Harold Ford. As
Conason points out, he's actually quite the liberal, despite his skill in pretending otherwise. It's clear to me that his campaign to be Leader hasn't been designed to woo support from his party, which he needs, or even from the voters, but it has instead been a campaign directed solely at the mediastocracy. In other words, he's just positioning himself to be the media's favorite Democrat. It'll work like a charm, and he'll get all the
face time and column-inches he wants.
