It's Friday, we're posting pictures of a guy in a bear suit.

Says the tipster who sent it in: "here in TN i can guarantee you that the voters are BEARLY paying attention to this controversy."

We kind of love and hate everything about this story (and its attendant puns) at the same time. We also feel this this quote merits reprinting:

Bryson spokesman Lance Frizell said the campaign is not directly involved in coordinating the bear's activities.

"But I think the bear makes some valid points," he said.
