114. Is that like saying, "All Af. Americans are the same"? Come on, now.
That was a different race, in a different year, for a different office, between two different people.

How you could possibly link that one race and extrapolate those results to a national race two years later involving different people?

YOU may have thought Ford deserved to win. But apparently the voters of his state thought otherwise....and as I recall, they BARELY thought otherwise. As I recall, it was VERY close. AND Ford made that big gaff...confronting his opponent in a confrontational way when the opponent was walking to his press conference. It didn't look very senatorial.

Tennessee is a red state. It will probably vote for the GOP candidate, whoever that is. It really makes no difference who the Dem. candidate is....EXCEPT THAT IT WOULD BE HELPFUL IF THE CANDIDATE CAN GET INDEPENDENT VOTERS. Hillary Clinton cannot do that. Obama can.
