In a hypothetical Gore/Thompson matchup ...... who takes Tennessee?

[Stinky The Clown]

Al Gore or Fred Thompson?

[Hippo_Tron]

1. Early money is on Fred, but...

We'll see how much the Republic Party implodes over the next year.

[LearnedHand]

2. I lived in TN a very long time

and I hate to say it, but I think Thompson would win. I think Thompson "seems" just moderate enough that those BaptoRepublicans would be convinced he's NOT Bush and therefore is safe to vote for.

3. Thompson

I'm sorry to say but if Gore couldn't win his home state against a simpleton like Bush than he sure as hell can't beat Thompson. And believe me, I think Fugly Fred is just as much an overrated hack as anybody else here.

4. Fred Thompson wins Tennessee, but Gore wins nationally

[Fire Walk With Me]

5. Literacy? Ebola? There are endless possibilities.

They still burn books there, on occassion.

6. i think gore could take tennessee if he has the correct

running mate.

[Phredicles]

7. Yeah, here's hoping any sanctimonious war-mongers from CT are off the list.

[melody]

8. Half-Dead Fred has one helluva lot of skeletons going to be marching out soon

The national res publica is more forgiving. Tennessee never forgets.
