TN-SEN: Return of the Bredi

[Brittain33]

Interesting, could move this race from Safe R to Safe Other R.

Activist Andy Ogles is running for the Republican nomination.

Are we ready for a Corker-Ogles-Beavers primary?

[Brittain33]

Why would Blackburn run when she's become quite a force in the House? Wouldn't Haslam be more likely, or is he eager to return to private life?

There's a glass ceiling for women in the Republican run House. Even when they hold nominal positions of authority, they are excluded from power.

[Brittain33]

I know it has not been mentionned but what about Tipper Gore, Karenna Gore or Kristin Gore for the Democrats?

Karenna lives in NY, Kristin in LA.

"Perhaps surprisingly, early Senate averages gave us some indication of where each race was heading on average. They were off an average of about 7 percentage points. Put another way, candidates who held large leads in the early going were far more likely than not to go on to win.

What early polls are not good for, though, is figuring out how close races are going to end up. When one candidate holds a single digit lead (as Bredesen does when you look at all the polls conducted this calendar year), such a lead is far from safe. Bredesen losing would be quite consistent with how predictive early Senate averages have been in the past. "

Strong attack ad from Bredesen.

He's going to give so many Democrats heartburn in office if he wins.

[Brittain33]

Look what Blackburn made her do

[Brittain33]

Is Blackburn going to attack Swift? That will be fun.

[Brittain33]

Interesting question about the Swift endorsement-  She said she is voting for Bredesen and Cooper, but why did she leave off Dean?  Is she supporting Lee, but that wouldn't fit with the overall tone?

Is it hard to imagine she's engaged with Washington but doesn't care as much about state politics?

[Brittain33]

Of course Blackburn's still favored to win, but there's still a couple of (garbagy) public polls having it tied and random chatter about internal polls showing it close which mirror the public behavior of the campaigns. Is it that hard to believe all of this is happening at once?

[Brittain33]

Well, if Blackburn is such a solid bet to win, why is Trump in Tennessee to prop her up?

[Brittain33]

To anyone reading this who lives in Tennessee -- vote Marsha Blackburn and straight Republican downballot!
