Why is Tennessee delegation in the rafters?
Does our position with a Democratic governor and a majority of Democratic delegation to the House of Representatives not matter to the DNC?
Was it because Hillary Clinton won the Democratic primary in the State of Tennessee?
Just don't get it.
Could it be the DNC and/or
Could it be the DNC and/or the Obama campaign don't think the Dems can win TN? Note, Idaho and Oregon have worse seats then TN. KY, MS, and AL all have fairly bad seats, not nose bleed, just way to the side of the stage.
Bizgrrl is right. It isn't
Bizgrrl is right. It isn't about how Tennessee voted in the primary, it's about how Tennessee will vote in November.
As Gov. Clement might have said, "You'll get better seats when you learn how to vote."
