The Tennessean has this story too, but the copy from GOP Bloggers is more amusing, (they steal copy from the Tennessean without giving credit) so I've pasted it way below.
GOP Bloggers also has a link to the GOP's snide little radio jingle. It only takes a sec to listen to it, and then join me in wondering why our children can't find grown-up role models.
On the GOP Radio Jingle (From the Tennessean) :
The 30-second commercial suggests the two ''get together and talk about the issues important to Democrats … I'm sure you'll have a lot in common — two peas in a pod.''
The ad is punctuated twice by a sound that appears to mimic Dean's primary-night scream in Iowa. It also takes shots at how Bredesen has governed, citing ''Tennessee's failing schools, rising unemployment and the TennCare crisis.''
The GOP said it is running the ad today in Nashville and today and tomorrow in Jackson, Knoxville, the Tri-Cities area and other parts of East Tennessee.

Tennessee GOP Runs Radio Ad During Howard Dean's Visit To The State
Tennessee Republicans are using a two-day Nashville visit by Howard Dean as a backdrop to link Gov. Phil Bredesen with a liberal agenda.
The GOP is airing a radio commercial today and tomorrow that describes the Democratic governor as ''peas in a pod'' with Dean, national chairman of the Democratic Party, who is pegged as a ''Northeastern liberal.''
Dean is speaking at Vanderbilt University today, and will be raising money for Tennessee Democrats. It is of course interesting to note that Dean and Tennessee governor will not be meeting during the DNC Chairman's visit, citing "scheduling conflicts."
''I wonder why Phil Bredesen won't meet with Howard Dean?'' said Bob Davis of Nashville, who is chairman of the state Republican Party.
''I'm guessing that even Bredesen wants to distance himself from Dean's liberal agenda.''
