Junior in '08? Uh, nope ...
The National Journal's Chuck Todd says he fully expects Harold Ford, Jr., aka Junior, to run against Senator Lamar Alexander in 2008: "[H]e's got a longer list of reasons to run than not." I don't agree with Mr. Todd's prognostication. Indeed, I'd like to think that Junior's smart enough to know that if he couldn't win an open seat in a pro-Democrat election year, he's not going to best a popular incumbent.
That being said, my post-election take on why Corker won remains instructive. If Junior hops into a race against Sen. Alexander, the red-blue map from the '06 race will be more pronounced ... in Lamar's favor.
