Harold Ford, Jr. Kaus adds: “Inspires confidence in Firestone’s deep understanding of Tennessee politics, doesn’t it?”

Forget Firestone. If you want the scoop on Tennessee politics, check out bloggers Frank Cagle and Bill Hobbs. As Firestone should have.

This Frist piece by Ron Brownstein is Hobbs-approved.
