So, who is Ford Jr. cheering for?

Bryant fared best in the results, getting 47.6 percent to Ford's 45.6 percent.

Corker fared worse - 42.5 percent versus Ford's 43.6 percent.

Hilleary had 47.1 percent to Ford's 46.3 percent.

OMG, I can't stand the thought of yet another tight defense on a GOP Senate seat in a deep red GOP state. This should be a no-brainer election.

I highly doubt the accuracy of those results, mainly because I believe the source is Zogby Interactive.

The Dims are cheering for Corker for other reasons. Even if he wins against Ford, it is almost as good as a Ford victory for them.

From yesterday's Tennessean, here is part of an article with some poll results coducted for the Chattanooga Times Free Press. (According to this poll, Corker would whitewash Ford).

Thirty-nine percent of likely Republican primary voters surveyed said they would vote for Corker, compared with 23 percent for Ed Bryant and 22 percent for Van Hilleary, according to the poll conducted last week for the Chattanooga Times Free Press.

The survey said Corker fares better than his opponents in head-to-head match-ups with U.S. Rep. Harold Ford Jr., the likely Democratic nominee in the race for the seat held by Republican Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist, who is not seeking re-election.

Corker has a 49 percent to 36 percent advantage over Ford, with 15 percent of respondents undecided, according to the poll.

Ford hates Bryant, because he prosecuted his father. My guess is that he would like a fight with Ed.

If I hear anything I will ping you!
