1. wow, did he kick Corker's ass or what!!!!!

[Tippy]

2. I wouldn't exactly say Ford kicked ass

I scored them about even until the end....Corker did a lot better then I expected him to do....

3. Except he couldn't answer a couple of questions -

particularly questions about education.

4. Here is what a friend from Ohio that saw it said:

Corker:
He was better articulated than you led me to believe, but...
He is all the way up Bush's asshole
He blew the first question from the audience about education
I wouldn't buy a used car from him


Ford:
I never ceased to be amazed at his ability to speak.
I never ceased to be amazed at his ability to remember to respond to every question posed to him.
I never ceased to be amazed at his ability to kiss up to the conservatives, knowing full well that to be elected as a Dem in Tenn. that's what you have to do.

5. Never forget - after the city of Chattanooga didn't like playing school

so much anymore and dumped the bulk of education into the laps of those of us who live in the county - I called Corker's mayoral campaign because he had ads stating that he was gonna be the 'education mayor'. I asked his campaign worker the question that since the city had dumped the problems of education into the lap of the county just how was Corker gonna be the education mayor, since the city had gotten out of the whole thing and all. His aid didn't have an answer, then resorted to getting huffy and asking me if I was gonna vote for Corker or not. I stated my question again about just how Corker could be the 'education mayor', the aid became angry and asked me if I was gonna vote for Corker or not. I mentioned that I live in the county and couldn't vote in the mayoral race and the little jerk hung up on me.

Corker doesn't and will not give a flyin' fiddler's damn about public education should he gain the senate seat (all powers that be forbid)!!!
