| Description | District congressional nominee Steve Cohen, who has grappled with a variety of health and family issues since his victory in the August 3rd Democratic primary, has some political ones as well.
Cohen happened to bump into his party's U.S. Senate nominee, Harold Ford Jr., at a Midtown hostelry last week. And, oh yes, during the three minutes or so that the two men of the hour had for a brief but cordial (or, in diplomatic parlance, "correct") conversation, the question of the hour came up.
The longtime state senator from Midtown had the opportunity to ask the outgoing 9th District congressman directly: Will you endorse me?
Ford's answer: "I can support you, but I won't endorse you." (If that sounds ever so much like John Kerry's famous equivocation about an Iraq spending measure, "I voted for it before I voted against it," you have to remember that Ford was an early supporter - a national co-chairman, in fact - of the Massachusetts senator's late presidential campaign.) |
