Oh pulleeeze. His little corrupt butt may get elected in the most dangerous city in the country, (Memphis) but the state will reject him in a heartbeat. Even our Rino senator (Corker) had no trouble beating him for the Senate seat our other Rino (Frist) gave up.
(Please God, send us some conservatives who won't fight each other but will fight the bad guys)
Oh, yes he did have trouble. He was trailing Junior for most of the period following the primary. Had Junior not made that major gaffe of showing up at a Corker function and Fred cutting some campaign ads, he'd be our Senator today. A swing of only 26,000 votes was all that was needed. It demonstrates the folly of putting up RINO squishes that drive down Conservative turnout.
