I've got family in Shelby Country in the liberal John Tanner's district--and they will vote in a heartbeat for Ed Bryant or any other conservative who runs for the Senate.

My big problem with Bryant is that he is an H-1B visa supporter -- hardly a conservative position.

My big problem with Bryant is that he is an H-1B visa supporter -- hardly a conservative position.

To be fair though that does seem to be the only immigration issue on which he is weak. (See his Report Card)

You are right on the H-1B visa point--but I do think Bryant is conservative on most other issues. There are other possible candidates that I am sure would probably line up better for our cause on every single issue than Ed Bryant.

The point I am making, however, is that, positively and without a doubt, Ed Bryant would be a better senator than either Al Gore or Harold Ford, Jr. And, if Bryant turns out to be the Republican candidate running against a typical liberal Tennessee Democrat, then I and my family will use whatever influence we have to support Bryant's efforts.
