Sen. Obama stumps for Ford in Tennessee

By ERIK SCHELZIG, Associated Press Writer 1 hour, 42 minutes ago

NASHVILLE, Tenn. - Senate candidates Harold Ford Jr. and Bob Corker were enlisting prominent national politicians Sunday to rally voters as the race speeds toward Election Day.


The nation's only black senator, Barack Obama, D-Ill., asked voters at two black churches and at a Nashville rally to elect Ford, a Democrat who is trying to become the first black senator from the South in more than 100 years.

"I know that all of you are going to work the next couple of days to make sure it happens, because I'm feeling lonely in Washington," Obama said at the Mt. Zion Baptist Church. "I need my dear friend to join me."

Corker, meanwhile, held a Sunday night event in Nashville with Republican U.S. Sens. John McCain of Arizona, Lamar Alexander of Tennessee and John Thune of South Dakota. Corker attended church in east Tennessee with his family.

"This is a tough race," McCain said. "I'm going to give you a little straight talk: Whether we keep the majority in the U.S. Senate could hinge on this race."

1. awwwwww, love Obama's words,

<"I know that all of you are going to work the next couple of days to make sure it happens, because I'm feeling lonely in Washington," Obama said at the Mt. Zion Baptist Church. "I need my dear friend to join me.">

McCain again shows what a scumbag he is by not saying anything against the bigoted ads. i wonder if McCain will keep his colored Daughter hidden during his attempt to run for President. of course if he keeps his word and we win Congress he will commit suicide.

3. I saw him Sunday Night in St. Louis at a McCaskill rally

very inspiring speaker. The crowd reaction was excellent for McCaskill when she was introduced, but the roof came off the place when Senator Obama came out to speak.

4. McCain is now damaged goods after what he did to Kerry last week...

The "maverick" proved once and for all that he is NO maverick. He attacked a fellow vet and US Senator for what was very clearly a verbal gaffe - very likely on the insistence of the WH.

Even Repubs I know thought McCain was made a fool by it.
