All that I will say about your post is that I hope that we Tennesseee Republicans can remain civilised in this race so that whoever wins the primary will not be so badly wounded that we hand a precious Senate seat to a 31 year old guy who will hang onto it for the next 30 years. If you think Alexander's education policy places too low a priority on home schooling or whatever, then that could be a campaign issue. If Alexander has receivd financial hlp from people that you do not approve of or in ways which will hurt him in the general election, then that could be an issue to debate as well. But I sincerely hope that you will not let passion to support one candidate blind you to the goal of electing a conservative Republican, which is what Lamar Alexander is.
One canidate? Good Grief the White House slapped the face of no less than four good and better canidates. How about Jimmy Duncan or Marsha Blackburn. Two proven leaders. You will have to look hard to find an unkind word or bad history on Duncan. You see national popularity is not the issue state popularity and record is. LAMAR is not a Conservative by Tennessee standards get it? This is the south not the North East! Let us make our choice. If you notice the White House has tried to hand pick each and every single canidate. {Roridan and Dole come to mind right off as well as Sununu or whoever} What do they all share in common? Daddy Bush choices!
