In this corner, hailing from Maryville, Tenn., and by way of Harvard where he still trains and teaches, presenting Lamar (The Bone Crusher) Alexander!

And in the other corner, hailing from his daddy's coattails in the governor's office and by the way of a rather undistinguished career in Congress, introducing Bob (I'm No Butcher bank director) Clement!

Tennesseeans will go to the polls with an attitude this time.

There is someone at FR that was convinced (before and after the primary) that Lamar would lose this race because of the skeletons in his closet. I laughed then and I'm still laughing.

Tenn. The Home of Al Gore, "favorite son" and 11 electoral votes for George W Bush. Tenn. knew who Al Gire was. ROFLMAO.

Tennesseeans know Al Gore to be a Washington D.C. geek. He only came back here to attend Vanderbelt, which he thought was a party school.

"Tennesseeans will go to the polls with an attitude this time."

I think they did that in 2000, in order to turn their least-favorite son out of Cheney's house.

I did plenty of partying there. But there are a ton of liberal weirdos there too.

[GailA]

I still can't understand how anyone could choose Lamar over Ed Bryant. Baffles me no end. Lamar is a moderate at best.

[GraniteStateConservative]

Well, if Van Hilleary wins, you should thank Lamar.

His strong showing among blacks will help Hilleary-- even if it just decreases turnout.

Sen steve cohen is telling dems NOT to vote for weasel phil bredesen..his logic...VOTE only for the Lottery so it will pass.

To win, the lottery referendum must not only get a majority YES vote, it must also get one more vote than 50 percent of the votes cast in the governor's race. If there are 1 million votes cast in the governor's race and only, say, 950,000 in the lottery referendum, the lottery needs 500,001 to win, not just 475,001. Thus, a vote FOR the lottery is magnified by not voting in the gubernatorial race, but a vote AGAINST the lottery is magnified by also casting a vote in the gubernatorial race.
