democratic candidates

A funny story about Bob Tuke:

Bob Tuke, one of the Democratic candidates for the U.S. Senate seat now held by Lamar Alexander, got caught in traffic on Interstate 240 on his way to a meeting with me this morning.

Randy Neal has the new numbers on the Democratic candidates for State Senate in a nice tabled format.

Tom Humphrey gets the Democratic candidates for U.S. Senate, who have been running relatively positive campaigns against one another so far, to dish a bit on their true feelings about their opponents:

Michael Cass on the Democratic candidates running for the 52nd District state house seat:

Lamar Alexander will likely have raised as much money as all of his Democratic opponents combined at the end of the second quarter:

Sen. Lamar Alexander’s re-election campaign said the Republican has raised more than $600,000 in the second quarter.

Granted no one will be there but it’s still gonna happen.

The Brainstem doesn’t seem all that optimistic about the chances of the Democratic Party holding on to the Governor’s mansion in 2010:

Our options for a Democratic candidate for Governor just got a wee bit smaller after Bill Purcell announced he'd become Director of Harvard's Institute of Politics.

I don't think there's been enough coverage of the U.S. Senate race in Tennessee.

Some of us are familiar with Padgett, a lot of us know Bob Tuke because he was the former chair of the Democratic Party of Tennessee, but what about Kenneth Eaton?

From the Greenville Sun:

The Northeast Democratic Organization will host a public forum here on July 19 in which the three major Democratic candidates for the U.S. Senate are scheduled to attend and answer questions.
