the only reason he was going o run was to help paterson increase the black vote in a primary, but with paterson out (for now)he decided not to run, this time.

this was all rangels idea, expect for him to run for rangels seat if rangel retires this year.

ford will not be done until he gets to the white house, he will be president one day, trust me.
