I'm going to hold out hope for Mackler until that hope is ripped away.

Not sure if this belongs here, but Mark Green is running for Blackburn's seat.

I highly doubt Blackburn will be the only major senate candidate.

Randy McNally, Mark Lutrell, and even Bill Frist would be preferable to Blackburn.

My signature is coming true!! (I had heard that this was the plan from people ever since Corker announced his retirement)

I highly doubt Blackburn will be the only major senate candidate.

With no Haslam or Manning, Blackburn will have the biggest name recognition, and among Republicans her negatives won't be all that bad. The nomination will be hers to lose.


A glimmer of hope maybe, but no, far from excellent news.

Sounds good - guy may be a top five GOP Governor atm (which says close to nothing), but he'd be a bad Senator probably just like Corker was.

Spoiler alert: Haslam runs when Alexander retires.

Blackburn has always been one of my least favorite in Congress... even though she has tried hard the past year or two ... to comes off as not as partisan and not as crazy (she def still is crazy... try as she may to hide it).

Probably Andy Berke but this is likely rep at best

Corker and Alexander reportedly don't like Blackburn, so they'll probably intervene in the primary. They might pressure former Rep. Stephen Fincher to run.

Andy Berke would likely be the strongest D candidate, but he might not want to be a sacrificial lamb.

James Meckler, the strongest D running so far.. strongest endorsement is the producer of the O Brother, Where Art Thou? soundtrack. So Berke will probably run.

And it's possible Carr or something gives it a shot. But I'd be very surprised if Blackburn didn't win this seat (from what I've seen, not being a Tennessean myself)

Who else is there without Manning and Haslam?   I think she almost has the GOP primary wrapped up.

With Corker or Haslam this race was Safe R, but now I'd call it Likely R. James Mackler seems like a candidate who could have a lot of appeal. I assume being a veteran plays very well in Tennessee.

Excited that Marsha Blackburn is running. She's an excellent, true conservative. I stand with Marsha!

Mackler was endorsed by former state party chair and Senate nominee Bob Tuke. Not known widely but certainly by Democratic insiders and activists here. Looks like he got an iron workers union endorsement today. Not to negate your point, but insider peeps are starting to get on board and while his low name recognition is a big obstacle, he's running this like a pro. I've been impressed. Now if T Bone's wife (who created and produced Nashville the TV show- that would be more noteworthy than her husband's endorsement.

But yeah, it's completely Marsha's to lose.

What would you rate his chances? Better or worse than Jones and O'Rourke? Also, isn't Blackburn prone to ridiculous gaffes?

I think Jones has a better shot in that the national media and party is going to give him plenty of name ID and support. And Marsha's not Roy Moore crazy; I don't have much faith in gaffes hurting her chances- we're in the Trump era after all.. Mackler is a fresh face and better than Jones in that regard; he's just got a big job to get known. I don't really know enough about O'Rourke, but he's going against an incumbent Republican in Texas- Texas is more likely to move to competitive before Tn and Ala., but I doubt we're there yet.

I'll probably vote in the GOP primary to keep Crazy Marsha off the ballot.

Remember, we'll have a Dean vs. Fitzhugh primary race on the gubernatorial side- you should take part in that; your vote will have more of an impact there.
