and Corker, of course, who's already running
If it ends up Corker-Bryant-Blackburn, Corker (from what I understand, the Lamar!ite in this race) wins, because of a split Conservative vote (and in TN, alas, we have no primary runoff). I would truly be hard-pressed to choose between Bryant and Blackburn. Bryant got screwed in '02, but I also like younger and more hard-charging individuals, for which Ms. Blackburn fits the bill (and how many actual non-RINO Conservative GOP females do we have in the Senate ?).
