I don’t think of Chattanooga as being particularly liberal...
The "Times Free Press" is pretty liberal, despite having an opposing view page. They do a left-right wing on the editorial page, but the rest of the paper is pretty much AP-liberal.
The city itself - while it's somewhat conservative, it has plenty of liberals just waiting in the wings to turn Chattanooga into the next Detroit. Fortunately, we have some really alert and attentive conservatives around town.
Lest we forget, RINO Senator Corker was previously the Mayor of Chattanooga.
Chattanooga is Corkerland.
