Just caught a new News2 (WKRN) feature. Everyday till the election, they will give a moment to one of the Senate candidates to address a specific question. What a refreshing break from the constant commercials ...
Today it was Bob Corker who was asked what the U.S. should do in Iraq. Here's a summary of Corker's answer:
-Corker doesn't believe that we went into Iraq with enough troops.
Does that mean that Corker wants to send more troops? He didn't say.
-We should listen to the military on military issues.
I'm starting to see a trend ... hmm, didn't Bush give this list last week?
-We need to train Iraqis to handle their own security as soon as possible, disarm militias and concentrate on "hotspots" like Baghdad.
Aah, it is the Bush plan, namely a more verbose form of "stay the course" (wait, I forgot we're not using that phrase anymore) Will there be any surprises? Wait for it ...
-We need to support the Iraqi government as they "figure out how to divide borders within Iraq."
What's this? Divide borders? Does this mean that Corker supports a dissolution of Iraq into 3 ethnic sub-states? This topic has been bandied about for a while. Does this mean that Corker is giving up in the idea of a unified Iraq? So many questions ...
I'm looking forward to this spot evey day.

Faith Day at the Polls
I thought I would pass along information about this event. It's an interesting strategy on the part of local Democrats. I cannot make it tomorrow. But if anyone does, please let us know the details.
Governor Phil Bredesen and Congressman Harold Ford, Jr. will join Bishop Joseph Walker, III and other faith leaders for Faith Day at the Polls this Tuesday, October 31 at 4:30 p.m. CST at the Davidson County Election Commission, Howard School Building, 700 2nd Avenue South, Nashville. All pastors, faith leaders, congregational members, and people of faith are encouraged to join us between 4:30 and 6:00 to vote early and celebrate our faith.
