Greetings fellow Tennessean!
Funny that in Knoxville Republicans were voting for Bredesen, and that in Nashville Democrats were voting for Van Hilleary!
While mayor, Bredesen raised property taxes 3 times to such exceedingly high levels that Nashville's population actually decreased when he was mayor (people moving to other counties since taxes were so high). He and his buddies also made millions for themselves in what is known as the "stadium scam." And then that tax added to the water bill. The list is endless, but the point is that he should be in jail...not governor!
I heard on the radio today that this candidate for "the little people" is actually worth around 180 million dollars. Being a mayor and a cheat paid him quite well! In fact, he ended up spending over 3 million of his own dollars in the last 24 hours of the campaign since he thought it was getting close!
Anyway, Bredesen is NOT good for Tennessee!

Ditto re: Slimebucket Bredesen. I lived in Nashville through a lot of the Reign of Taxes, and my retired (fixed income) parents still live in Davidson County (I moved to Sumner Co). Their property taxes went up some 62% during Pharoah Phil's reign, and my retired old maid aunt in the Sylvan Park area saw her taxes go up over 84%.
Tennesseans are going to come to regret this night.
