Tennessee is not the Deep South. It often votes for moderate go-along-get-along Republican types. See Alexander and Corker the current senators. See Frist the mushy former Majority Leader (after Trent Lott was booted). Sundquist is a former governor who tried to pass a state income tax. A Democrat was voted in next. I watch all of this with distaste as I am a native Tennessean.

You mean the same moderate state that rejected it’s favorite son, Al Gore for president?
