Hilleary, fresh off his defeat in the run for governor of Tennessee, has announced that he will be a candidate for Frist’s soon to be vacant seat. Hilleary will likely get the backing of the local Republican machine would be my guess. His ties to former (and disgraced) governor Sundquist may be almost forgotten now. The mayor of Chattanooga, Bob Corker, will also be in the race. Ed Bryant, a former congressman, is also in the race. Beth Halteman Harwell has also formed an exploratory committee to look at the race.

Bryant has apparently gotten into the blog game, unofficially. Blogging for Bryant is the unofficial Bryant blog. And the unofficial Blog of the 2006 Senate Race.

Kudos to local politicos for getting into the blog game. Too bad more haven’t done so.

As for my endorsement: Not Hilleary!

Maybe I’ll run as a write in candidate. Can a pseudonym be elected to public office?

I think it’s pretty clear that the Democrat in the race will likely be Harold Ford, Jr.
