EXHIBIT A. Before the "Democrats Only Won Because They Ran A Bunch Of Republicans" meme gets set in stone, people should realize that the result in Tennessee pretty much obliterates a good piece of that theory. Harold Ford makes Bob Casey look like Emma Goldman, and he got handled pretty well by the nebbishy Bob Corker. (And the voters down there should be ashamed that the odious TV ad worked as well as it did.) Ford talked about Jesus, guns, and his own heterosexuality, and he lost to a guy so nondescript that he has no shadow.
