The OurSenate blog has their first U.S. Senate analysis of the new year now online.In their last analysis back in December, they had the Tennessee U.S. Senate race at number 8. Now, after a couple of months passing, the race is ranked at number 6.
Harold Ford Jr. has really put this race on the map! Evident by the continuing climb in rank, Ford is going to win this race come November!
Here is their analysis:
Here it is, at long last. My first analysis since December. Races are ranked by likelihood of turnover.
6. Tennessee - Bill Frist (R) retiring after 2 terms
Primary: August 3Cash-on-Hand: Corker (R) $3.825 million, Ford (D) $1.863 million, Hilleary (R) $1.013 million
Rep. Harold Ford Jr. is a shoo-in for the Democratic nomination, while the GOP primary is a spirited three-way fight between former Reps. Van Hilleary and Ed Bryant, and Chattanooga Mayor Bob Corker. Corker has the money, Hilleary has the name recognition, and Bryant has the conservative backing. Polls show a statistical tie, very slightly favoring the Republicans.
