Corker Gaining Momentum?

We are at the end of early voting. The REAL election day is just five days away. Yes, I am one of thoses who likes to go out on
ELECTION DAY to vote--not one of those lazy slubs who can't be bothered to exercise their franchise on the appointed day.

You only have to look back to the wheel-tax blackmail and the County Charter debacle to understand why you should wait until election day to cast your vote. Both of these events broke within a few days of early voting or within early voting. Those people who voted early, voted without benefit of full knowledge of the shifting political landscape.

In any event, it seems Corker is starting to widen the gap between himself and HFjr. However, the Ford camp seems suspiciously up-beat. Ford was on 1180 WVLZ today, and while not his usual hyperactive performance, he did not seem demoralized.(I gave him some friendly advice one day that he should take it down a notch because he was coming across a little to shrill on the radio. I guess he took it.) I had a brief chat with a colleague at work who said he was prepared to vote for Corker (as the default position) until the "negative" ads started. Thank you RNC and NSRC. He is a sports guy and probably was not paying attention to the race until the last two or three weeks. I am amazed at how people have given Jr. a pass on some of the "negative" ads he has run.

Poor Jim Bryson is playing the role of the traditional sacrificial lamb in the governor's race. I took note of the fact that I have received about 85 emails from the Tennessee Republican Party touting Bob Corker's election, but not one pushing Bryson. Either I am not on that mailing list, or the State Party is only making token efforts to assist Bryon after dragooning him into running.

Perhaps Bryson is positioning himself to run for Congress when Marsha Blackburn goes after the Governor's Mansion.
