Minutes after learning that Sen. Bob Corker (R-Tenn.) won’t seek reelection, Rep. Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.) told The Hill on Tuesday she’s considering running for his Senate seat in 2018.

“Yes,” Blackburn said when asked if she's taking a look at the Senate race.

She has the highest American Conservative Union ratings of anyone in the current Tennessee Congressional delegation. Is she for real or another Ayotte/Capito? Seems that almost all female GOP Senators campaign as conservatives and become liberals in office.

Corker should QUIT NOW and give her a running start for 2018. Won’t have to campaign as hard or raise as much money as an incumbent. In 2019 Alexander QUITS 2 years early. Same thing.

Agree, I’m skeptical of her. Once they get to the state level there’s a tendency to see beyond their district. This has a liberalizing effect on them.

I live in her district and quit voting for her 6 years ago. She’s a Boenher lover.
