The only political families more corrupt than the Kennedys of Massachusetts are the Fords and Gores of Tennessee.

What is so galling about this polling data is that they're not showing the PRIMARY polling breakdown. As a Tennessean, I have NO idea which one is currently leading. Here in the Nashville market, all I see are back-to-back Corker ads on tv, I have never seen a single Bryant or Hilleary (who needs to GET OUT) ad.

Actually I expect Ford Jr to run for mayor, after getting beat in the Senate race. Even black Memphians are sick of King Willie and are looking for a change (as long as its another black).

You forgot Louisanna and New Jersey. I'm sure they have TN beat.

We let Memphis for the next county 6 years ago and have never looked back.

Tennessee Harry Ford...does this mean he's out of the House, too?

I know. I remember telling everyone that Casey, Jr.'s lead was incredibly shallow. There are only two vulnerable GOP Senate seats -- Santorum and Chafee. And the latter is a wash, no matter what happens, even though the Missing Linc seems to be holding on.

By the time Casey, Jr. reveals how dull and stupid he is, Santorum will sail to a 3-5 point victory.

Yes, you have often been alone in saying that the early polls were the same as in 2000. I do think Burns is in more trouble than Santorum, but Montana is a red state, and I can't believe they'd elect a loon there.

Santorum is still quite down, like 6-8 points but better than 16 he weas earlier.

Santorum has never won more than 50-51% He got elected in 1994 with like 48%

Corker is a RINO, for sure. Not like Sundquist but.....

Ford's problem is he's running for statewide office and not some podunk House race with the black part of Shelby county forming the majority of his district.

East Tennessee will beat the Fords every time.

AmishDude, who seems to know this race pretty well, says Santorum is about where he always was at this point in the campaign season.

departing Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist

I didn't realize he was still there. I thought an empty chair was running the Republican efforts in the Senate.
