They make less money than most states. Yet like chickens, they vote for Harlan Sanders to represent them. They are blinded by gun law and abortion, and the republicans have done nothing to change either in Tennessee ! A race to the bottom ? Probably. Poor Ole Tennesseean`s ya gotta love em.

The first thing the new top dogs do is check out how they can ensure they stay where they are - or at least make it harder for the other dawgs. Yepsolutely.

If we get a 50-49 split the Dems way and keep them all together, then the Repubs in the Senate will at least be forced to compromise all of the residtricting plans.

I don't think my home base area even has enough Republicans around to shift the election commission jobs. What a shocking break in old school generational politics. Most of the people I know on the Election Commission are 2nd and 3rd generations in those posts. Interesting. I'm not sure this is the kind of change that I was voting for.

One plan I have heard would take Frayser and North Memphis away from Tanner to give to Cohen. Then, they would move the 7th completely out of Shelby, and give Tanner all of Republican East Shelby County, which could cause one of the two Shelby Republican Senators (Norris or Stanley) to take a run at Tanner. Since Norris already has Tipton, Lauderdale and parts of Dyer in his district, he would be the most likely candidate.
