I agree, Tenn elected Al Gore several times as Senator. Of course Georgia elected Jimmy as Governor (he campaigned much more as a conservative).
But Gore was different. His father was a longtime US sEantor also, and Gore was a Vietnam vet.
Ford has no qualities, just a inept campaign by Corker.
do not worry Corker's camapign will come thru, Ford is from a crooked family.
Gore was a moderate until he ran for president in the 1988 Illinois primary. Two weeks before he was still a moderate, but, in Illinois he transformed into a class warrior slime ball.
Coker spent more time in the primary bashing his two better opponents. He came out of east Tennessee with a lead. He should have spent his time, during the primary, showing how he was different from Ford.
Upchuckie has a commercial here that says that Coker hired illegal aliens at one of his construction projects, then, goes on to say that Ford will be tough on immigration. Now, if that doesn't make the milk your drinking squirt out your noses, nothing will.
