This is good news, but not all that surprising. Harold Ford's Auntie Ophelia being ousted from the state Senate due to voter fraud obviously hasn't helped him.
Here's the rundown on the GOP candidates. Van Hilleary would make a good Senator, Ed Bryant would make an excellent Senator, and Bob Corker is a RINO.
I'm surprised Van Hilleary is doing better among conservatives then Bryant. From what I know, there isn't really any ideological differences between them, and Bryant is the better general election candidate, as well as most likely the more effective senator.
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.
JUNIOR is running a new ad about the high cost of gas...wonder what his voting record is on voting against drilling, building new refineries?
