National Democrats Disavow Tennessee Senate Nominee
The party of Cordell Hull, Estes Kefauver and Al Gore Sr. and Jr. won’t have a standard-bearer — or at least not one it can stomach — in Tennessee’s next U.S. Senate race.
Less than 24 hours after a man espousing conservative and libertarian views surprised the state’s political scene by winning the Democratic nomination, the Tennessee Democratic Party disavowed him, saying he’s part of an anti-gay hate group.

Interesting comments on that article. Mostly 'Our team YAY! Your team BOO!' crap.
I am endlessly amazed at how out of touch the major party establishments are with the voters, they simply cant read the writing on the wall. Corker is a constitutionalist, so I guess that does put him at odds with the Dem establishment. With the Repubs too for that matter. -

They should probably go organize a kiss in at his campaign headquarters.

Does anybody give a shit about what the Democrats think nowadays? Fuck them all.
