      <![CDATA[John Tanner agreed to resign so Roy Herron could run for his seat so Roy and Mike McWherter wouldn't have to hash it out in the primary. EVERYBODY here in the 8th district knows it, the TNDP let it happen, Roy Herron is complicit to it and John Tanner will forever be remembered as a coward.

      <![CDATA[The sad thing is they really think they need to protect the poor little insurance industry from the big, bad gova'ment.<br />
People will live because they have access to health care! Wouldn't it have been nice if Tanner and Davis would have helped save lives.<br />
Other than getting big donations and making the contacts for those lobbying jobs, what do they think we elect them for?

You've been drinking too much of the kool-aid. Tanner and Lincoln Davis were the only Dems who did the right thing in Tennessee.

      <![CDATA[Tanner was the only Democrat in the state's Congressional delegation to vote no - although Cooper decided to vote yes only after it became clear the bill would pass, so I'm not sure how courageous a move it was for him. Even Bredesen came out tonight and praised the measure - even if it was through gritted teeth.
