Former Governor Phil Bredeson (D) was originally given a shot because he was running against a terrible Republican candidate former Representative Marsh Blackburn. But even though I have heard multiple people around here complain about Blackburn they pretty much agree that they can't vote for a Republican no matter how bad she is.
I expect her to win.
Tennessee is going to be a mess in 20 years. Nashville's growth appears to be leveling off, and their real estate market and jobs are expected to do the same over the next 2-4 years. That's inflated the average wages in the state, which would otherwise have largely been flat the last few years.
