#6 I'm East Tennessee and I'm voting for Blackburn. It doesn't surprise me that Haslam is not running. He has been a fairly good governor.

#8 Only yesterday Instapundit posted the following:

LAURENCE JARVIK SENDS THIS LINK WITH THE COMMENT, “RUN, GLENN, RUN!” Breitbart Goes ‘Old Hickory’ in Tennessee, Gets 2 Establishment Scalps. I don’t think so. I doubt I’d get elected — but if I did, that would be even worse!
