Yeah, he wouldn't be a popular Democrat around here. But he's 67 right now, I don't think he'll run.
I'm anticipating someone objecting about my wanting to purge moderates from the party or somesuch. But that's not what it is. Bredesen is an executive and wanted to be governor, and ran as a Democrat because he could. He just couldn't be a Democratic senator--he wouldn't run and truly wouldn't fit in the Dem caucus, like Gene Taylor crossed with Barry Goldwater. My own views don't even come into play because in TN, the Dem bench is empty.
Methinks to take a seat in otherwise unwinable TN, the Dem Caucus will welcome him with open arms and let him be a new Ben Nelson to his heart's content.
