The only new Republican elected to the Senate in the 110th Congress has a desk in the last row of the senate and a windowless office in the basement of the Dirksen Senate Office Building.
Sen. Corker's office contains empty bookshelves, a desk bearing only a "Sen. Bob Corker" nameplate and a couch from Mr. Frist's former Senate office.
Bob Corker is senator No. 96. in the 100 member body.
The low ranking senator in the minority party replaces Bill Frist. Corker won 51 percent of the vote last November, to U.S. Rep. Harold Ford's 48 percent.
The lonely conservative senator said "his low rank would leave him free to focus on Tennessee issues."
Cause if Corker had a high rank he could focus on some other state?
The Tennessean has a story too.
