I haven't seen polling but I'd be willing to bet that a public option is popular in his district.

You don't have a clue.

Cooper would have lost no matter what.

Thompson got an immediate boost in his poll numbers from the momentum of the first primary in modern Tennessee history where Republican turnout surpassed Democrat.

Because he's spent a whole lot of time running around making pronouncemnts about what the legislation will and won't do.

Cooper lost in 94 by the largest margin because Tennesseans thought they were voting for Reagan - which was the same reason the party faithful encouraged Fred to run for president in 08.

So I fail to see Woods' evidence to this ludicrous statement, unless he has some polling information that I don't.

Of course it would.
