Harold Ford, Jr. to DLC
According to Radar, it\’s bye-bye Tom, hello Harold.
According to a draft memo that sources provided to Radar, Ford has agreed
to replace Iowa Gov. Tom Vilsack as chairman of the influential organization.
Vilsack, a centrist with little national name recognition, recently announced
that he would run for president in 2008. After interviewing a number of high-profile
candidates for the job, DLC honchos decided that Ford would be the ideal choice
to run the group. In the Jan. 8 memo obtained by Radar, Ford seemed to eagerly
anticipate the prospect. "I have enjoyed our conversations and
am excited about becoming the Chairman of the DLC," Ford wrote to Al
From, the DLC\’s CEO. "Your stewardship of the organization over
the years has made the DLC one of the premiere Democratic think tanks."
