(Ed Bryant has already announced), it would sew up the race for Lamar! based on statewide name recognition

Ed Bryant, Duncan, or Marsha Blackburn is the states only hope. Do the homework on Tennessee History and Tennessee Governors elected to office after term. It's been well over 100 years since it occured. The last former Governor to be senator or even dog catcher was elected through congress on the 1905 era. Lamar has to many issues in his past that will be too hard to shake.

I have to say your "no condidate gets elected to anything after being governor" argument is about the least persuasive line of analysis I've seen on FR in a while. (and let's face it, you're up against some pretty stiff competition).
