Bloodless Coup

Am I Now Having to Hope the Senate Minority Leader Wins on Tuesday?

These ads against him are horrible, and his opponent's record in Tennessee politics the last few years has been horrible too, so maybe I'm not too invested in seeing him lose on Tuesday. He's a vastly superior politician when compared to the likes of Bill Frist or Jon Kyl, so I suppose I should wish for him to be knocked off and replaced by a less able Republican leader. And of course I'd like to see the Democrats win his seat, in general. But if his loss means legitimizing ads like that or forgiving Lunsford's political moves over the last few years ... well, maybe I won't feel quite so bad about it if he wins.
