The nominee chose to support an obvious sexual assaulter and rapist and basically ok'd this happening to women everywhere. He ran away from us and chose repug misogynists over women. Given a choice between a pretend repug and real one, people will go with the real one. Mancin will get away with it because of WV, but SC isn't WV and the people of SC turned against him.

You are right, I had just read an article about Nikki Haley so SC was on my mind. I do know that Bredesen is in TN, it just didn't translate down to my fingers.

It was extremely self-defeating and a totally unforced error. Such stupid action is almost unimaginable, and the people of TN will pay a big price for his stupidity.

with no testimonial evidence that anyone has stopped volunteering.

Further, as much is DU is reflective of some of the real world, there absolutely are people advocating not voting for Bredesen.

On edit: It's occurred to me that a few leftist PACs have diverted funds, so I've retracted my initial assertion.

I imagine those resources will be used in other races. Not all races are equal and resources are limited. Then again, so is the information you have provided.
