His election to a House seat in 1996 was the first real job Ford had. In the four months since the election, he has four new ones - Merrill Lynch vice chairman, Fox News commentator, Vanderbilt guest professor and chairman of the Democratic Leadership Committee - the last a job that Bill Clinton used to lay the groundwork for his national political ambitions. Ford, who turns 37 next month, makes no secret of the fact that this hiatus from politics won't last long.

Clearly, we'll be seeing and hearing more from Harold Ford, Jr. in the future.
