Didnt read the link, but I am predicting a wild ride for both sides this year.

I would not lose a minute's sleep if they were all replaced. Lifetime politicians (both Democrats and Republicans) are one of the major problems with our political system.
The “lifetime politician” is a uniquely 20th century phenomenon. Ben Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, and other founding fathers envisioned politics as a temporary “public service” vocation, serving for a limited period before returning to private life.

If you go to the link, make sure you scroll to bottom. That was info. I was looking for. It shows predictions for every seat.

I wish "career politician" was an oxymoron.

I'm gonna do my part to ensure that NO incumbent is re-elected. I have been listening to TN politics all my life. Always wanted to be able to vote against some of these guys. emoBigsmile
This November I will get my chance. My first order of business when I got my driver's license was to register to vote.

I would vote for a pro life pro gun democrat in a heartbeat. Zell Miller was one of the best leaders in my life. He was a democrat and I voted for him in every election he ran in. Zell was the kind of democrat you all think the others are but in actuality they are not. I will never, repeat NEVER vote for anyone that believes it is ok to destroy innocent human life.
