Ford's brilliant strategy.

Chairman of the Federal Reserve Ben Bernanke made a comment about the "possible decline in the dollar [not having] a "worrisome'' effect on the U.S. economy."

This will get a lot of play in financial circles, particularly the Wall Street Journal. The readership of that publication is majority upper class and upper-middle class white male.

Why is this brilliant strategy? Because the comment was in a letter to sent to a certain U.S. Representative. One from Tennessee. Running for the Senate.

Ford will get his name out to a bunch of financially-minded, conservative, socially moderate white folks. Precisely who he needs to vote for him come November.

Like I said, brilliant.
