Bredesen won mostly due to some Tennessee Republicans finding a Democrat more palatable than a Conservative from their own party.

What conservative are you talking about. Bredesen didn't run against a conservative last election. He ran against an idiot named Sunquist

In 2002 Van Hilleary gave up the TN 4th District Congressional Seat to run against Bredesen. The race was close. East TN "Republicans" didn't like Van; guess he was too conservative.

Van Hilleary. A more conservative Republican that did not get along well with the elites in E. TN.

No, he ran against a great conservative, Van Hilleary, who was stabbed in the back by the state RINO's.
