Eastern TN residents are crazy. Thus we have Lamar, Corker and Haslam...all left wing idiots.
Whatchu Talkin about Willis? LOL We also have the Conservatives. Hey I'd take Jimmy Duncan as U.S. Senator over Alexander or Corker any day. I've read all about Alexander's very lucrative post governor - pre-senator investments. Then there was the Whittle Communications Alexander worked for & the campus taxpayers ended up with. Really Knox County and the second congressional district is fairly conservative. But UT and the Knoxville daily paper are as liberal as Obama. Knoxville has had a DEM Mayor for four years and the paper has yet to write so much as a negative paragraph about her administration.
As for Chattanooga? When the 1982 Worlds Fair went bust many who had vested interest in it ended up there. Unfortunately I'm in the third congressional district and stuck with a Chattanooga RINO for congress. Maybe I can do a land swap with my neighbor and be back in the second district LOL. Yeah I live right on the district line.
