Despite all the national talk about upheaval in Congress due to Iraq, Mark Foley and Bush's generally abysmal ratings, in Tennessee the more things change the more they stay the same.
Here's the rundown:
All incumbent Representatives - Jimmy Duncan, Zach Wamp, Marsha Blackburn, Lincoln Davis, Bart Gordon, Jim Cooper, John Tanner will win.
The Republican nominee, David Davis, will apparently win in 1stDistrict succeeding the retiring Rep. Bill Jenkins. Not a surprise as the Republicans have held this seat since 1881!
In the big 9th District (Shelby County) race for Congress to succeed Harold Ford Jr., state Senator Steve Cohen should defeat both the Republican and the Ford family candidate, Jake Ford.

Apparently, you have not been reading the Letters to the Editor in both daily newspapers, listening to the area's talk-radio shows, overhearing conversations in grocery stores, or asking questions of anyone outside of Hillsboro Village.
The average voter -- across all lines: young or old, rich or poor, liberal or conservative, of all races -- is absolutely FED UP with our lax border security.
Jim Cooper voted against HR 4437, the border security bill, last December.
Now, I'm not a big advocate of single-issue voting. But, that single issue will cost Cooper this election.
