This man is certifiable. I’m ashamed to call him a Tennessean.
He’s just another one-trick pony.
I find the parallel between Al Gore and John Edwards particularly interesting, since I have roots in both Tennessee and North Carolina, and share an alma mater with each of these gentlemen. Both were elected to the Senate running as moderates; but both tacked sharply to the left soon after they assumed office. It's probably what a Southern Dem has to do if he entertains any possibility of national fame within the party.
