Native Tennessean here! As a kid/teenager, we had Al Gore and Jim Sasser as Senators and my rep was Bart Gordon. All Dems! The state was solidly for the Dems, but with time and the onslaught of the Christian Right/Tea Party, my state is no longer recognizable. It's frustratingly sad. The state I knew as a young man is no more...I moved home to a hotbed of right wing gibberish and it seems like Alabama is in the same boat. I have no clue how to reverse that trend.
