Rep. Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.) is tied with former Gov. Phil Bredesen (D) in a new poll of the closely-watched Tennessee Senate race.

The survey conducted by East Tennessee State University on Friday shows that both Bredesen and Blackburn are earning support from 44 percent of likely voters, according to The Tennessean.

The newspaper notes that the poll did not include information on the percentage of likely voters that remain undecided.

The ETSU survey shows Bredesen with a substantial lead over Blackburn among independent voters. Forty-six percent of independents said they preferred Bredesen, while 35 percent favored Blackburn.

5. I don't think it is likely that we will win TN.

But I think it is possible, and things that are possible happen every day.

If millennials (and I'm a millennial) get off their asses and turn out to vote, Tennesse can happen. If they don't, it won't happen.

When I talk to people my age I tell them: If you hate it, you can change it. It is a question of how bad you want it.

7. Got a nice "Thank you for your contribution" flyer in my mailbox yesterday from Bredesen.

I can't believe this race is not a runaway as far as the qualifications of the candidates. But, we are talking Tennessee here, so that explains a lot.
