We have elected two of the biggest liberal "Republicans" as senators (Alexander/Corker), whose running interference for Obama is famous. So Cruz should do well here. GOP at the state level is total corrupt establishment insiders. They whip the vote for RINOs. Cannuck Cruz should have no problem in Tennessee, I sadly say. (We're the home of Davy Crockett, Sam Houston and President Andrew Jackson, who put the Federal government national bank out of business for decades, which is one of the biggest factors in US growth and prosperity of the second half of the 19th century and very early 20th century.)

Every Republican politician in Tennessee was a Democrat until the 1960s. There were no Republicans since the end of Reconstruction. Tennessee went 100 years after Reconstruction before electing a Republican governor. That may be part of the source of the RINO infestation of Tennessee. I just don't know.

Alexander and Corker are perfect examples of "conservative when home", then in Washington they are part of the Cartel and Cocktail Party Circuit. They tell the people back home one thing, then do another in D.C. They are perfect examples of why all Professional Career Politicians should be ousted, starting with the office of POTUS.

Don’t forget Haslam and Sundquist! Sundquist was to the left of Bredsen.

It’s also worth noting that Jimmy Duncan was one of the few Republicans to vote against the Iraq War in 2003.

We’re kind of like South Carolina, our population is staunchly conservative and open liberals are quickly run out of town, but for some reason RINOs flourish in primaries.

As a natural-born Tennessean, I would like to apologize to the U.S. for giving you Al Gore, Lamar Alexander, and Bob Corker. At least we stopped Gore from becoming President.

But we also gave you Fred Thompson!
