"I'll meet him wherever he wants, any time he wants," Ford said, even if that means the debate would take place at "that beautiful mansion of his."

The Daily Kos, vacation home of liberal extremists once they leave the safe confines of Democratic Underground, has weighed in on the Tennessee Senate race

GOP Senate hopefuls say Iraq war isn't an issue
Bush popular, they say, but MTSU poll finds drop

Negative public opinion about the war in Iraq won't be much of a factor in next month's Republican U.S. Senate primary, according to the three main candidates.

Former Chattanooga Mayor Bob Corker and former U.S. Reps. Ed Bryant and Van Hilleary say Republican primary voters in Tennessee generally support President Bush and the war in Iraq.

The candidates instead are focusing on issues like abortion, immigration and federal spending.

But a Middle Tennessee State University poll released in March found Bush's approval rating in the state was 42 percent -- from 55 percent a year earlier -- while one in four of those polled said the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan were the No. 1 problem for the country.

Recount in Ohio A Sure Thing; Green Party Campaign Raises $150,000 in 4 Days, Shifts Gears to Phase II

I cannot see this changing anytime in my lifetime.

It is a worthless waste of time and energy to go to the polls.

I felt a huge amount of energy for the KE ticket in NC only to see it go down in flames.

Just wanted to get this of my chest.
