Wait. Isn't Marsha Blackburn literally a former hairdresser? Not that there's anything wrong with being a hairdresser, but let's face it. It's not exactly a qualification for being in the Senate.
Not that being a former football coach is, either. Looking at you, Alabama.
So glad to see this. We've had decent candidates run against Blackburn in the past, but they didn't have the national recognition that Johnson has been so helpfully gifted by those numpties in the state house. I hope she gives a good showing. She's unlikely to win, but I hope it's close enough to scare Hagerty (he's actually more batshit bananas than Marsha).
Al Gore should sign in to her campaign. And make ads for her. Talk about returning honor to Tennessee's Senate delegation. And remind folks about how hot last summer was.
She sounds great and I hope she wins...but we have had so many kickass women run in red states, including with great credentials in the armed forces that red staters respect, and it just becomes another pipe dream versus the larger red demography.
Call it the McGarth/McConnell Paradigm: Republicans can count to 51 so they will vote for even someone they actively dislike to keep a Senate seat red and if there are more of them they win.
I have to wonder if we might not be better pushing money into local races that can possibly change the political substrate in municipalities and state legislatures.
i should go through ancient Facebook comments and get some followup from the apoplectic lunatics that would flip their shit about incandescents being phased out.
wonder how their stockpile is lasting and how impressed all their friends are. also curious how many of them perished in standoffs with armed EPA agents coming to seize their bulbs (which is a thing i was told would definitely be happening).

I'd like to smack Blackburn in the grill, just sayin.
Blackburn is getting up in the nation's grill.
HELP ME! PLEASE TAKE MY GRILL BEFORE I GRILL AGAIN!
I love that Wonder Woman for the People is kicking ass in Tennessee! Go Gloria!
YES! As a Tennesseean, this gives me hope.

that Blackburn is having a challenger is good in an itself no matter how the race goes.

The FTFNYT would completely lose its shit and target her relentlessly.
Sad but true.

Still shaking my head at how dumb Missouri was to vote against Claire McCaskill.
Not dumb if a number is the goal.
They want Senate control and will vote for those who give it to them

I read on the Tennessee Holler that Marcia only won her seat by 10 points, and that was before Roe fell. This is not an impossible race.
If I'm not mistaken that was against a bipartisanly well-liked former governor. I'm frankly surprised she won.
