Remember two things as you go through this campaign: There are more Davids than Goliaths, and more answers than questions.
Deeply personal and refreshingly candid, More Davids Than Goliaths is not only the story of one man's political journey but also an audacious and heartfelt articulation of the values and principles by which Harold Ford, Jr., lives his life and makes his stands on the issues of our day.
Service has been the guiding principle in his life since he was a child. His values were formed in the pews of his family's Baptist church and the fold-out chairs of his father's campaign headquarters. Harold Ford, Sr., became the first African American to represent Tennessee in Congress. He held the office for more than two decades, and when he left the House of Representatives, his son won his seat.
As eloquent on the page as he is on the podium, Ford details his ten years of commitment and conflict in the House, going from a so-called Kindergarten Congressman to challenging Nancy Pelosi for House Democratic Leader. He vividly recalls his trips to Afghanistan and Iraq, and how those affected his views on foreign policy.
Ford offers a gripping blow-by-blow account of his hard-fought 2006 campaign for the Senate in Tennessee—as well as his candid take on the highly controversial television ad by his Republican opponent that likely resulted in his narrow defeat. He shares the crucial advice given to him by Bill Clinton on how to turn a short-term loss into a long-term victory.
Always looking forward, Harold Ford believes in the potent mix of hope and practicality, the power of listening to the average citizen's concerns, and the urgent need to solve the existential problems this country faces. More Davids Than Goliaths is a mission statement for America —from a man whose public service has only just begun.
