After Dave Brat's stunning upset over House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-VA) last week, Joe Carr, a Tennessee state representative who is challenging moderate Republican Sen. Lamar Alexander (R-TN) in an August 7th primary, is seeing signs of momentum.
Seven more Tennessee state representatives endorsed Carr on Monday, a week after Laura Ingraham, who helped propel Brat to his victory, praised Carr on her radio show. Middle Tennessee Representatives Sheila Butt (R-Columbia), Judd Matheny (R-Tullahoma), Mark Pody (R-Lebanon), Courtney Rogers (R-Goodlettsville), Mike Sparks (R-Smyrna), Billy Spivey (R-Lewisburg), and Rick Womick (R-Rockvale) said Carr could repeat the successes of Brat and Mississippi Sen. Chris McDaniel, who took incumbent Sen. Thad Cochran (R-MS) to a runoff. Recent polling shows McDaniel leading Cochran by eight points.
On behalf of the group, Matheny, who is also chairs a committee in the state legislature, said that Alexander's vote to "support and confirm the person hand-picked by President Obama to implement Obamacare shows us just how out-of-touch he has become."

WTF? It apparently worked out for him ... at the expense of others who were stupid enough to vote for him over and over. Is it any wonder then that the voters selected a queer Muslim descendant of African slave-traders, a disbarred attorney, a Left-Wing nut job 'Community Organizer' in a Catholic Church Basement, as POTUS?
Go figure.
I’m in the process of moving to Tennessee and will get to vote in the August primary. Looking forward to casting a vote against Alexander
