The polls showed a Bryant Ford race about even, with many undecideds. In this toxic election cycle, and it is toxic, that makes me nervous. And Tenn may be the dam, along with Virginia, against a Dem takeover of the Senate. That means Bush won't get confirmed any more acceptable appellate or SCOTUS nominees. This RINO would not like that. I like troglodytic judges, for reasons I have posted ad nauseum.
Bob Corker has fallen below 50%

No way.
A base Conservative wins here.
Look how even a semi-Base Conservative GW Bush whupped a local homeboy named Al Gore.
This ain't CT or MN
Plus the long knives will come out after Ford and his thug clan.
Corker will win only because of money and TV ads and because the GOP for Bredesen types that run much of the State GOP here wanted it.
You should examine who they fubar our State House in a solidly GOP state ....just for reference.
