TN-Vanderbilt Poll: Bredesen far ahead of Blackburn in favorability

[Don Vito Corleone]

Surely Blackburn/national Republicans realize that they can’t win this race without giving Bredesen the Bayh/Strickland treatment, right? Not a surprise that TN voters (including a lot of so-called moderate “Republicans”) would prefer the good ol' boy over the shrill female any time.

Yeah, this race proves to me that Tennessee hates women to the point they'll vote for a liberal man over one.

He is not a liberal you ninny.

If Bredesen is not a liberal, why is this that he raised taxes close to $1 billion during his time as Governor?

How is this that he proposed coal mining limits?

And how is it that the Cato Institute, a fiscally conservative institute, rated him only 53 % on overall fiscal policy score, 57 % on spending and 56 % on taxes?

And if you look at the ISidewith website, Bredesen is pro-choice.

All of this falls more within the parameters of a liberal.

Hang on, hang on. You're seriously saying someone who got a 53% from the motherf***ing CATO institute is a Liberal?
