Pls explain to me if you don't mind why you voted for this Corker guy and why he'll probably win. I thought Tennessee was conservative country.

Corker ran as a strong conservative. Many question his conservative bona fides. I believe he will be as conservative as Frist.

He will win because he raised tons of money, garnered all the support early of the movers and shakers, and assembled the largest gotv effort in TN history (according to his campaign). Early returns support that thesis. We shall see.

Shelby county... percentages only from WREC:

Bryant 53%
Corker 42%
Van Hilleary 3%

"He will win because he raised tons of money"

Actually, if he wins, it's beacuse he dumped a ton of his family money into the race.

By that logic in voting for Corker, I assume you will be voting for Ford in the Fall. For he will have the biggest machine behind him, loyal supporters, and might be facing the one candidate that the polls showed he had a chance against.

He just pulled the Sasser bull$hit hustle. Pretend to be Conservative, when your record and agenda are otherwise. He can get stuffed. No more for these RINO cretins, not one f'ing cent and not one f'ing vote.

As I said in another thread tonight. Chattanoogans were shocked when Corker ran as a conservative Republican after having him as mayor for 4 years.

Much of his funding and support came from the major liberals in Chattanooga. He essentially bought this election due to the fact that he's a millionaire and owns much of Chattanooga.

Sadly, I know a bit too much about Corker and his campaign. This is extremely depressing.

Corker's nothing but an opportunist who will only side with big business and his millionaire cronies.

I see all these posts not too happy with Corker. In what way is he a conservative? I'd hate to see yet another Rino weaseling their way into Congress especially from such a conservative stronghold like Tennessee.
