I really gave him a hard time in early 2005. But a big congrats to Harold Ford (D-TN). Tennessee's a really red state. And let's not sidestep the issue: He's a black man running for senate in a southern state. That's a tall order on both counts. He didn't win. But he ran a kick-ass campaign. And he only lost by a couple percentage points. The word going into tonight was that support for Ford had collapsed over the last week and Corker was going to have a solid win.

And let's not let the gauziness of the moment paper over the fact that Corker ran a disgusting race. The guy is a blight on the senate.
