Re: Tennessee (none / 0)

the strongest candidate is probably Bryant (who is also the most conservative). He doesn't have the problem of being a moderate in a conservative party (like Corker) or the baggage of previously losing a high-profile race (like Hilleary). He is Ford's toughest potential competition. But since Corker has a huge fundraising advantage over the other two Repubs, maybe he will win the primary.

Re: Tennessee (none / 0)

I disagree. I think the reason that Corker is the only GOP candidate losing in this poll is because conservatives dont want to admit voting for him. But if given the choice between a Democrat and a moderate Republican, you better believe the neocons are taking the moderate Republican.
On the other hand, I think Ford's best chance is against Hilleary or Bryant. If he draws a conservative opponent, he may be able to pose himself as the moderate and his opponent as an extremist conservative and pick off the same voters that chose Bredesen over Hilleary. IMO, thats the only way we can win.
