Tennessee just seemed to slip away from Democrats in recent years. However, Harold Ford, Jr., made a very strong showing for the U.S. Senate in 2006 and Democratic Gov. Phil Bredesen remains very popular. There’s hope for Tennessee yet.
This is in response to this story.
There is no hope for liberal Democrats in Tennessee. Ford and Bredesen both have moderate views and both have some conservative views.
Texas, which has the second largest number of electoral votes, will be back in the Democratic column some day. The only question is when. Its rapidly growing Hispanic population ultimately will help tip the state. Also, Democrats made gains in state legislative races in 2006 and carried all countywide races in Dallas County, the second most populous county in the state, that year. A similar showing is possible in Harris County (Houston) and Bexar County (San Antonio) in 2008. Republican Gov. Rick Perry remains very unpopular.
Another reason for a mass deportation and stricter border control. I can see massive changes to our way of life in the near future. We are being overtaken with illegal aliens.

Bredesen is more conservative than Bush and any of the front runners for '08, unless Fred decides to do something.
How some of these guys are even on the Repub ticket.....well thats a different subject.
