I just have to say

that a GOP candidate for governor in TN ran a TV ad at 6:50 pm last night. The polls closed at 8 pm. He spent more than 19 million of his own dollars campaigning relentlessly. He came in second. Not even close. I guess Randy Boyd has enough left to live on for awhile but this must hurt. I for one will be glad to not see him or his signs everywhere. Also that awful Diane Black was a distant third and will be out of the House soon.

Now the holier than thou rich guy who won needs to lose in the general election but for now we have a little reprieve.

For the next three months. I hope she goes down in flames in the Senate Race. Bredesen should beat her handily.

Thanks for the warning. She has gotten some bad press. Bredesen was a popular and successful governor. There is hope.

I am sure you will see them soon. Plus I bet Trump will swing by again to support her before November.
