question about Tennessee

[soniquemd21921]

They were, at least, especially compared to the Deep Southern Republicans post-CRA. Look at Baker, Alexander, Corker, etc (the latter two are fairly right-wing but clearly to the left of the average Southern Republican in Congress).

I'm sure the old-school East Tennessee Republicans (Reece, Baker, Quillen) would be labeled RINO too, despite being to the right of the average New England Republicans of their period.

BTW, what does CRA stand for?
