Sounds about right!
I live and vote in TN.

He has done enough damage.
Polls show Corker trailing Blackburn.
I hope he gets back in and gets his
ass beat by Blackburn.
Has Al Franken finished resigning yet?
I looked into that the other day and indeed his replacement has been voting in the Senate this CY.

It’s pure baloney that a Dem could win that seat.
Marsha Blackburn will be heavily favored and will win. Bredesen is an old fogey first elected gov. before Tennessee became a GOP solid stalwart state. Tennessee IS NOT going to send a Democrat to the senate.
Dems and GOPe are trying to use the Judge Moore Alabama fiasco to drum up hope for anyone besides a conservative to win in a conservative state.
Sorry leftist pundits. It’s not going to happen. Blackburn is going to vote with the president 95% of the time.
