If Ford wins Tennessee, we may take the Senate. That means that a Democratic Senate will be in charge of approving any appointments to the Supreme Court or the federal judiciary. Don't you think that would be CRITICAL to any changes in Federal laws with respect to lesbians and gays and their families?

If Ford wins Tennessee, and we take the Senate, then people like Ted Kennedy and Pat Leahy and Barney Frank will be chairing committees. Bills like the Military Commissions Act won't even come up for a vote.

When I see Harold Ford, I see him standing alongside Barney Frank and Ted Kennedy and Pat Leahy. And that picture looks awfully good to me.
