1. If Harold Ford can eek out a victory in Tennessee our odds for
taking the U.S. Senate go way up.

If he can win handily, so much the better.

And I love the trend!

2. The trend is very much his friend.
His favorables are rising along with his vote share and his campaign is gaining traction.

4. Great news!
Most of the polls I've seen of late still show Corker with a slight edge, but that edge seems to be shrinking over time. My only regret is that Tenn is in for one hell of a dirty campaign. It will worth it, though, if Ford can pull this one off.

6. Might not last:- Corker TV ads demonize Ford for a vote against Patriot
Act and to let some felons out of (constitutionally overcrowded?) jails a bit early.

7. Big deal.
That's pretty weak stuff. Corker has corruption issues.

13. But so far Ford's new ads are attacking the GOP claims one by one.
He's responding to Corker's false claims very quickly, which is both refreshing and encouraging. And so far he hasn't really had to attack Corker personally yet, just attacking Corker's lies about him, which means he can claim the high ground on campaign civility. Sure, it's not much in the grand scheme of things, and we've got a long way to go, but I'll take any advantage and bit of encouraging news I can get!

9. I live in Nashville, Corker's attack ads are in full force
I don't watch too much TV but everytime I turn it on, there's an attack ad against Ford. If Ford is coming out ahead or about even in the midst of this blitz, then he is in good shape. If Ford can destroy Corker in the debate, I think that he will be able to pull this thing out.
