Went to a Bredesen rally last night in Marsha Blackburn's home town

There was an overflowing, energetic crowd. When Bredesen ran for his second term for Governor he won all 95 counties. His record of accomplishments is unassailable. As mayor of Nashville he turned the city into a thriving, vibrant metropolis. As Governor he brought Nissan, VW, the Titans, the Preds to the state. I think we are going to take Corker’s seat. Corker won’t even say Blackburn’s name when asked if she’ll endorse her!

majority so the personal attacks on him won't work and Blackburn is a polarizing person who would most likely push white women support AWAY from her

Bredesen has done so much for the State,whereas she's done nothing except batter women & Fox Babble.. To me she's the RW's
penultimate Mean Girl. I just cannot see her winning the State over Bredesen.

I had a relative in Clarksville.

He was friends with a prominent doctor in the city - a well-known Democrat - who told him that, among other things, she (the doctor) had been put on the no-fly list by the bleach-blond congresscritter herself.

That would be SOOOOOO great to flip a Senate seat from red to blue! We need to take the Senate, too, if at all possible. I'm hopeful for the House as well.
