"&lt;img src=\"/images/xhotnews.gif\" align=left&gt;&lt;img src=\"/images/fordmug.jpg\" align=right&gt;According to sources, State Senator &lt;b&gt;John Ford&lt;/b&gt;  is the Ford family pick to succeed  U.S. Rep. &lt;b&gt;Harold Ford Jr.&lt;/b&gt;, now on the verge of a run for the U.S. Senate.&lt;p&gt;Rep. Ford, just back from a fact-finder in Afghanistan,  spent Friday and Saturday calling influential Democrats and sounding them out about his making a race for the Senate this year. One of those called was Mayor &lt;b&gt;Willie Herenton&lt;/b&gt;, who reportedly said he would be willing to support the most celebrated current member of a political family, the Fords of Memphis, with whom he has had a running feud."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
