LOL! Phil Bredesen has a new ad with a clip of Marsha Blackburn saying that

Phil did a good job when he was Governor! Gotta love that.

2. How is Phil's fundraising going?

I know you live in TN redstateblues. I saw in another thread posted that Priorities USA made the completely moronic decision to not spend money on ads supporting him because he said he would support Kavaungh. Can Phil win this race on his own with not much support from outside groups? I hear that it was hurting him their because he was being indecisive up until today. Some people do not get that a Vermont Democrat will not win in Tennessee. Phil is our only chance.I hope he can still pull this off despite Priorities USA deciding not to spend any money to help him.

3. It won't hurt him. I haven't seen any of their ads.

Phil is running a campaign in a deep red state that can win. What it takes to win in TN is a lot different from winning in a blue state. Phil had originally said he wanted to win with small donations. He has a net worth of approximately $350 million so I would imagine he’ll be ok if he has to spend some of his money. Blackburn has gone all negative which tells me she is not getting traction. Her latest has anti Phil add has Kamala Harris, Elizabeth Warren, and Cory Booker(scary women and black guy) saying that they will be giving Phil orders. He is distancing himself from the national party which I think is a smart strategy in this state. Now that we’ve lost this round it’s time to win in November!

4. It would be completely moronic and hypocritical if Priorities USA

gave money to Bredesen. He doesn't agree with its most important goals.

5. That type of ad is overrated

I remember Jeb Bush' opponent Bill McBride trying the same thing in the 2002 Florida governor's race, unveiling an old video of Jeb praising him as a great American, or something like that. They thought they had a gold mine so they saved it to the final week or two of the campaign. I had just started posting here but said that it wouldn't help.

Bredesen needs to have better instincts than this.
