The Answer

In an otherwise okay column, Erik Lokkesmoe asks:

Think back to the last time you heard a lawmaker genuinely say, without prompting or pressure, "I was wrong." Or fierce opponents say to one another, "You make a good point." Or a commentator, stumped by a tough question on national television, say, "I don't know."

The answer to all those questions for me: Harold Ford, Jr. That is one of the main reasons I am such a fan of the senatorial candidate from Tennessee.
