1. Al Gore did a better job
He sent the Navy Personnel Command there--huge influx of personnel, saved a dying base in Millington, too.

7. Because most voters in Tennessee are true-believers, religious zealots,
or ignoramouses beyond belief.

11. Frist isn't a representative for Tennessee
He's a lap dog for the Bush administration and corporate whore.
