What the hell is the matter with Tennessee? Sure, its voters elected Bill Frist and Fred Thompson, but among the clunkers they have sent to Washington in recent decades are Kenneth McKellar (New Dealeer), Estes Kefauver (liberal Democrat), Albert Gore, Sr. (segregationist liberal Democrat), Albert Gore, Jr. (left-liberal Democrat), and the four Rinos, Howard Baker and Bill Brock, Lamar Alexander and Bob Corker.
It's not just TN. The problem with the Senate is the 17th.
