Rep. Ford, can you elaborate?

In the on-going challenge that is discerning Congressman Ford, Jr.'s position on the issues . . . this comment from after the Memphis debate:

In a later interview, Ford says his biggest challenge is the image of the national Democratic Party.

No kidding. But then there's this whopper:

"There is a national perception of the Democratic Party that they are out of touch on moral and cultural issues," he says. "I think that perception is wrong, and clearly we are making progress in overcoming it."

I disagree that it is merely a perception problem (this statement was given to a Seattle newspaper, though), but perhaps the "a vote for Ford is a vote for Clinton, Kennedy and Schumer" message is getting traction.
