In hindsight, yes. He'd have held the seat for 6 years and been out. If I had my way Van Hilleary would have won the primary.
A lot of you give Corker a hard time here but let me ask you... Would you rather Harold Ford Jr had won in 2006? No, I didn't think so.
Fwiw, I voted for Harold.
I was at the Cal UT game in the section right above where the Vols come out to run through the T.
It was before kickoff and I was standing by the entrance into the stadium from the concourse.... well here comes a guy with a Harold Ford Jr button on ..... the usher was standing beside me and he punches me in the arm and then points right at the guy as he's walking by right in front of him and says "there's an idiot right there"..... did he hurt your feelings?
