Ford says he is not sure if race will play a part in this year's elections
From CNN Political Editor Mark Preston
WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Rep. Harold Ford Jr., one of three African-Americans running for Senate, said he is not sure how much of a factor race will play in this year's elections. "I don't know," Ford said on ABC's 'This Week with George Stephanopoulos.' "I mean, I'm who I am. God made me like this and I think voters accept that. I'm proud of who I am. In this race, it hasn't been as much of an issue as some people from outside would view it." Ford will face former Chattanooga Mayor Bob Corker, a Republican, in November. The other African-Americans running for Senate are Maryland Lt. Gov. Michael Steele, a Republican, and Mississippi state Rep. Erik Fleming, a Democrat. America Votes 2006 |
