I can’t believe it’s even this close. Not to say that she’s that much of a better candidate because she’s not. I just don’t understand the thinking by the people of Tennessee here.

Nashville and Memphis both love Bredesen. Knoxville being more Republican is going to make this harder to call unless Blackburn has the lead without it.

This race isn't one to even worry about. Marsh Blackburn will win this race with double digits.

Ohio, Michigan, NJ, Wisconsin, Minn, and Montana are the races to watch tonight.

Voted early for her here in West TN. I believe she pulls it out in the end.

Knoxville inside the city limits is liberal (anyone want a slightly used female mayor who knows how to punch every SJW code) but the county is very different.

Early voting out in the surrounding counties was much heavier than we've seen it in the past sixteen years.

Minn is a lost cause. My progressive BIL that voted there has assured me of this after he voted this morning

What about Chattanooga? I get news and commercials here in my corner of WNC from there and I’ll be honest, I’m not too confident they will vote red.

City is extremely blue, surrounding area is extremely red.

Isn't this pretty much the same for Memphis, Nashville, Knoxville, and Chattanooga?

Keep an eye on the numbers in Minnesota because it will be a bellweather in 2020.

Bredesen was the former 2 term governor of the state. You don't think he has built up an organization? Just relax

Bredesen was liked by a lot of moderates and very centrist while governor, kind of almost the last of the blue dogs in Tennessee. Let's be honest, Marsha sucks, she was a shitty pick by Republicans to go up against Bredesen. That's the only reason this is close.
