The Nashville Post reports that Tennessee Democrats appear to be deadly serious about taking Lamar Alexander's senate seat in 2008.
Michael Ray McWherter, 51, son of former Tennessee Gov. Ned McWherter, is considering a run for the U.S. Senate seat currently held by Lamar Alexander, according to NashvillePost.com sources.
. . . Most political observers had anticipated Tennessee Democrats to put up a sacrifical lamb against Alexander. Should McWherter enter the race, it will be apparent that they are not taking the election lying down.
Lamar Alexander is one of 22 Republicans who face the prospect of fighting to hold on to their undeserved senate seats in 2008.
