Well, I hope that means you think that Tennessee is fairly likely and have reasons for it—it looks like a long shot to me, but I haven’t heard much lately.

Look, I have no special knowledge of Texas of Tennessee politics..just a sense from what I read.. I think that there's a lot of dissatisfaction with Cornyn. In a very short campaign, 8 weeks, like this one..a lot of people are voting against him, but it's a truism also that many people need to vote FOR someone..and there's not a strong candidate in Texas..which is why I think it's the least likely of the states to pull the upset.

Tennessee's primary is in August..I think it's the last of the 5...so assume a decent anti-Cornyn showing, and then Tea party wins..or at least forcing run-offs.. in SC, KY, and Miss, and by the time Tennessee rolls around..you're gonna see $$ and volunteers pouring into the state, and the TP types will have the momentum. Also, Alexander's a lousy candidate..

The reason I’m not voting for Reasor or Cope is because it would be a vote for Stockman. I believe Dwayne Stovall has the best chance of beating Stockman out of 2nd place.

Let me answer one of the questions I asked in my Vanity Post about Stockman: Where is all the campaign money going that people have sent to him? No Radio / TV Ads.... no newspaper ads... no yard signs or billboards...... no campaign appearances..... Where is his campaign money going? Well, I found out this morning that he had $160,000 campaign debt from his Congressional run. Now, I think I know why he ran in this race; to get money to pay off his prior debts. If he’s in the run-off, I’ll vote for him, but, I’ve decided on Dwayne Stovall for my Primary vote.

Well, you have a right to be upset. I’m just taking issue with your conclusions about Akin and McCaskill’s having supernatural abilities. If Akin had made his comments BEFORE the primary, I’d have likely switched candidate endorsements or remained neutral. I still put him in the same camp as Mourdock in Indiana. They were on track to winning and they committed unfortunate gaffes that cost them.

Unfortunately, you well know that our candidates are held to ludicrously high standards that Jesus would have a difficult time meeting. Conversely, the Democrats nominate liars, degenerates and frauds and nobody bats an eyelash. I thought it was terrible that our side threw Akin and Mourdock both under the bus after they uttered some un-PC comments.

As for Willard, I have no problem with anyone ascribing the worst possible motives to him. He is a Socialist, a fraud, a phony, a liar, and a ringer and had no intention of doing anything else than keeping a Conservative from being nominated and similarly making sure Zero got his second term (pretty much playing the same part McCain did in 2008). I rang the bell about that fraud for six years running, since I knew him very well and his goals, and he proved out everything that I said and then some.
