Corker is a businessman that started with nothing and worked his way up in life in Tennessee. Ford has been a politician all his life and grew up in DC. Ford loses. Unless Ford's family helps steal the election; the ones not already in jail... Is the following article how they told you to make money when you were growing up? Its the latest scandal to hit your man Corker.......another one is how he didn't pay his taxes for two years during the 1980s. Again is that how they tell you to make money? This GOP shit is so easy............ Court setback for Corker in Tenn. environmental lawsuit By Elana Schor Tennessee Republican Bob Corker, whose Senate race against Rep. Harold Ford Jr. (D) has become a dead heat in recent polls, faced another setback yesterday when a county court declined to put off his deposition in a controversial Wal-Mart-related lawsuit until after the election. The suit deals with a nature preserve that environmental groups say was ruined during development of a Wal-Mart store on land sold by a company owned by Corker. His lawyers had sought to postpone his testimony until after November, and his campaign accused Ford and local Democrats of politicizing the case. But the court granted only a two-day delay. “While it’s not ideal to take time away from the campaign trail during the early-voting portion of a nationally watched election, [Corker] looks forward to having the opportunity to set the record straight,” Corker political director Todd Womack said, adding that Corker’s deposition “will demonstrate once again that this case is without merit and being driven by a desperate Ford campaign that can’t seem to find an issue on which to attack Bob.” Corker was sworn in as Chattanooga mayor in 2001, more than a year after the city and his Osborne Building Corp. began negotiations on the use of a plot of creek-side land protected for recreational use by a conservation easement. Corker owned the company that had donated the nature preserve as well as the company that sold an adjacent plot to Wal-Mart for $4.66 million in 2003. read more........... thehill.com
