5. GOP/traitor fatigue. It'll be contagious after more is revealed about Russia.

6. Way too many undecided

But if Trump is a traitor, Republicans are not going to show up for anyone who excuses him. And Drunky Blackburn will.

8. And Blackburn's hacks are gunning for Bredesen.

Tennessee’s U.S. Senate race will be won by “death by 10,000 cuts,” the top strategist for Republican Marsha Blackburn’s campaign said this week, likening Democrat Phil Bredesen to a soon-battered boxer who won’t survive the punches coming before the November election.

Ward Baker, speaking before a room of Republican activists in Nashville, also had a warning for Republicans who cross over and back Bredesen, a former two-term Tennessee governor:

“We have a list of everybody that’s screwing us,” Baker said, drawing laughter from the crowd over what seemed to be a joke as he began answering a question.

"I believe when the TV ads are out, and we lay out our case, I think some of them will come back. And the ones that don’t, I’ll do everything in my power to make sure that they have trouble living in the future."

That comment too was met by laughs and applause.

They are intimidating Republicans who want to support Bredesen. Let's see what happens. Also, Bredesen could use some fundraising love. I believe Blackburn may have outperformed him in the last quarter. He did loan himself $2 million, though, so that should help with the ads.

9. Bredesen is popular down here and . . .

he appeals to Dems and Republicans alike. He was a popular 2-term Governor and successful mayor in Nashville. He has a lot of friends and support from both sides of the aisle, as well as considerable experience and political savvy.

He's going to win this seat, +1 for the Senate. My husband and I voted on the first day of early voting (Friday) and the traffic was steady. It will be interesting to check the traffic flow at the end of the week.

I have a very good feeling about this one. And the Dems down here are . . . charged up.
