A couple of days ago, she bailed out on an engagement with 4,000 U.S. soldiers at Fort Campbell, KY, citing "foul weather." Something there was indeed foul, but it wasn't the weather.
While I would take issue with the Nashville paper's characterization of the Morrison campaign as a "longshot" (please see this diary for the latest poll numbers) the Tennesseean neverthless makes a strong endorsement of the 7th District's best choice for change:
Morrison, an Army veteran and middle school teacher in Shelby County, characterizes himself as a conservative both fiscally and socially. He says he would like to put aside party labels. He advocates tackling various issues with new approaches, such as establishing partnerships between government and businesses to solve many public policy issues. While that may be easier said than done, Morrison appears to have enthusiasm for trying new ways of tackling old problems. He seems well versed in the vast array of issues facing the nation.
Last weekend Democratic Congressional Candidate Bill Morrison visited southwest District 7 with stops in Shelby, Hardeman, and Fayette Counties. Along the way he met up with Democratic Senatorial Candidate Harold Ford, Jr. and the two talked with supporters about the need for Democratic change in Washington.
TN-07 working hard to oust Republican Marsha Blackburn. Don't give up on this one yet! Please consider helping to keep them on the run.
The Democratic sweep of Congress is underway, and a little-known race in the heartland of Tennessee has now become competetive.
Bill Morrison, a father, a veteran, and a teacher who was nominated for Disney's Teacher of the Year award, has been busting his tail to defeat the odious Marsha Blackburn. He is poised to knock her out of Congress this year, and he needs your help.
A recent poll conducted by Penn, Schoen, and Berland shows that when told about Morrison's story and Blackburn's voting record in Congress, voters in Tennessee's 7th choose Bill Morrison over Marsha Blackburn by over 20 points.
As reported by "The Tennessean" on Saturday, October 7th:

Democratic Congressional Candidate Bill Morrison took a trip over to Jefferson Elementary in Fayette County on Thursday to speak with elementary school students about the process of government.
An unbelievable morning, with Bill Morrison, republicans shock me twice again and that is before noon!
(Shock #1)
When I arrived at the school this morning for this 10:00 A.M. event, to my dismay I was told by Bill Morrison (TN-07) that the democrats were not allowed inside. It was unclear as to why, but apparently the Republicans present told them they could not come into the building. It seemed to be something about the present setting representatives were Republican, and it was the opinion of the Republicans present therefore the Democrats were not allowed.
Recently Janice Richie of Boliver, TN, a voter and supporter of Bill Morrison, wrote a letter-to-the-editor that sums up exactly what makes Bill the right guy at the right time for District 7.
As reported by The Commercial Appeal: Ryan Loskarn, Congresswoman Marsha Blackburn's Press Secretary, had this to say about the Foley scandal erupting in Washington: "Foley obviously fooled a great many people in Congress and in the child advocacy community."
During election time partisan politics can become ugly and messy, throwing out the truth for the momentary sensational story. But with the recent revelations of former Congressman Mark Foley, it is clear that the time for truth is now. It's time for the Republican leadership to come clean.
As an assistant majority whip and the fourth-ranking member of the House of Representatives, just how much and for how long did Congresswoman Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) know about former Rep. Mark Foley's inappropriate contacts with underage pages?
