Seeing democrats backing out of races. Seeing them quit. Seeing them loose their seats. Being defeted by conservitives. Seeing obama looseing his support. Seeing the Tea Party growing by leeps and bounds. Watching Sarah Palin give speeches. This is America comeing back.

How many of those retirees on both sides are in "safe states" versus "toss-up" states. Most breakdowns I've seen favor an overall pickup by the GOP.

Wamp is running for GOP nominee for governor of TN ....but so is Bill Haslam. Haslam's currently mayor of Knoxville and is son of the founder of Pilot Oil and brother to the current CEO of Pilot Oil.
I doubt that Wamp can win over Haslam.
Maybe he will stay in Congress if he doesn't get the GOP nomination.
