As many people read today's newspapers announcing the candidacy of Representative Harold Ford Jr. to the United States Senate, they will also get positive talking points from Tennessee's political blogs- not because Tennessee bloggers are particularly enthusiastic about Ford, but because Ford supporters have blasted the comments of major Tennessee political blogs with comments echoing the same talking points. Bill Hobbs' post on Ford was hit by "Geoff Burton" and "Lindsey Weiss" with the exact same message. "Mitch Hudson" was the name used at Rob Huddleston's blog and "Bringing the Good Word" hit up Blogging for Bryant (bringingthegoodword@yahoo.com was an email address used on Bill Hobbs' site). Here at Simply I, this post and this post got similar comments.
