Word on the street

The word on the street is that the Van and Ed campaigns are expecting many more negative news issues to plague the campaign of Bob Corker over the next few weeks.

We will see if it gets picked up by the news media here in Knoxville. Oddly the news and papers in Chattanooga seem to be doing a lot of coverage of issues that do not shine a kind light on their former mayor. Coverage on this race seems light around here. Knoxville is a real turn key area of the state on state wide republican issues. The saying "As East Tennessee goes so goes the state" is a well known axiom of state politics so you would expect heavy coverage of this race around here. We will see how it goes in the future.
