Those congressional vote ratings are rigged, but the people of TN won’t mind. After all, they like Corker, they will love Lamar! again. People there prefer incumbents but made an odd exception in November 2000.

We will create this new political infrastructure at a fraction of the cost of the stodgy, tired, expensive television advertising driven campaigns of establishment Republicans that are managed by the political consultant class.

We are not hiring Washington based consultants to drive our messaging and fundraising
We are not going to spend most of our money on wasteful television commercials
We are not going to focus on needless and ineffective rallies and petitions
We’re giving local control to local groups
We are respectful to local organizations and groups
We provide local groups needed resources, unlike these other Washington based groups, which take resources from them
We ADD value to local groups, Washington based organizations SUBTRACT value from local groups
