Carr might pull off a 48-percent vote...at best. I don’t think he was ever the ‘best’ candidate to oppose Alexander. If you could have found some former NFL quarterback with a name, or some TV personality....you would have done better. As for voting for Alexander in the fall? No....if I were from Tennessee....I’d just stay home or vote Democrat on this particular ticket.
>> If you could have found some former NFL quarterback with a name <<
Peyton Manning — great name in Tennessee. He could become the odds-on favorite for Alexander’s seat in 2020.
But then, who knows anything about his politics? He might be to the left of Alexander!
“Carr might pull off a 48-percent vote...at best.”
That is a real possibility.
“I don’t think he was ever the ‘best’ candidate to oppose Alexander.”
Perhaps not, but he was the best who stepped forward. After vetting the various potential candidates, the Tennessee tea party groups selected Carr. And Carr has made few, if any, mistakes. I went to one of his campaign stops and was very impressed. He is a solid conservative and, while not as “slick” as Alexander, is very savvy.
“As for voting for Alexander in the fall? No....if I were from Tennessee....I’d just stay home or vote Democrat on this particular ticket.”
Agreed.
...vote Democrat...
