I have feelings similar to yours. Here in Tennessee I supported Ed Bryant, a fine conservative and a Christian, for the Republican senate nomination and was deeply disappointed when Bud Corker got it.
Then I looked at Bob Corker's opponent, Harold Ford, Jr.
Except for Slick Willie BJ Clinton there has never been a slicker, more vile DemonRat politician. Ford consistently runs lying ads where he portrays himself as the next thing to a conservative Republican and NEVER even mentions that he's a DemonRat. He's also said he's a lawyer even though he flunked the bar and hasn't been licensed anywhere. In addition to that he's the most liberal Congress critter from Tennessee. The one thing we can genuinely count on him doing if he's elected is abandoning all his "conservative" talk and becoming just as much of a moonbat leftist as his predecessor, Al Gore.
Seeing all of this totally changed my view of Bob Corker. I voted early yesterday for Bob, have contributed to both the Republican Senatorial Committee and the local Tennessee Republican party, and will volunteer to help the Corker campaign. The survival of the country is riding on this election. If we don't win slick Harry Ford and the other DemonRats will destroy this country for the benefit of their subhuman Islamofascist terrorist friends and allies. We MUST contribute, work, and vote for a Republican victory. The alternative is terrorist nukes exploding here in America.
The mistake the Tennessee republicans made was letting Corker get through the primary. Corker just looks lost and gives the impression of being tired and old. It doesn't help matters that Ford is young, very well spoken and slick.
Someone like Corker is the absolute last person you want running against someone like Ford.
Still, I think that Corker might pull it out. It just depends on how motivated Tennessee republicans are as midterm elections are all about party turnout. In presidential election years you have to worry about convincing the undecideds but those people don't even vote in the midterms.
The Florida republicans letting Harris get through the primaries was another huge mistake. Those are two senate seats that were easy wins that the GOP primary voters threw away.
