"The fact that the TN Democratic Party has not actively & speedily offered up a VIABLE candidate as a write-in speaks volumes to me. Obviously they have given up on our state."

I am not aware of the TNDP offering up a write-in candidate (I am not disputing that you have posted here, I am just unaware as to who this write-in candidate may be) --- in any case, a write-in candidate is the opposite side of the same coin as an A-B-C candidate, who in my opinion, is regarding the general election as a lottery with a low investment needed to enter a high risk opportunity at securing a public office.

I am thinking that there is a division of conservative "GOP Light" Democrats within the TNDP that are attempting to marginalize liberal Democratic candidates for state offices and for membership within the TNDP state executive committee, except when these people are needing volunteers to come out and work for their own campaigns.
