IMHO, Ed Bryant is the best choice.
As for Bob Corker, he strikes me as not a principled moderate, but an opportunist pro-business liberal running in the Republican primary. He's flip-flopped on a number of issues.
Yeah, pretty much... of course, he's better than Ford. Whatever that means
Bryant did yeomans work as a member of the House impeachment team.
Some people say Hilleary did a terrible campaign in '02 when he ran for Governor.
I've heard that Corker raised taxes while mayor of Chattanooga.
Again, it's hard to say who I'd have voted for. If push came to shove...maybe Van Hilleary because of his geographic base in eastern and south central Tennesee.
Corker may win the primary outright (over 50%).
Should Corker win, it will be a case of hard work paying off. Corker ran ads non stop for a couple of months. Whereas Bryant didn't run his ads until a few weeks ago.
