WALKOVER:
Gordon's Tennessee Seat All But Gone for Democrats (John McArdle, 3/31/10, CQ-Roll Call)
Posted by Orrin Judd at March 31, 2010 3:01 PMWith one day to go before Tennessee's filing deadline, it's safe to say that Democrats are waving the white flag in the race to hold the seat of retiring Rep. Bart Gordon (D) in Middle Tennessee's 6th district.
With no top-tier Democrat stepping forward to enter the race and a slew of strong Republicans already raising big money in a GOP-trending district, CQ Politics is moving the rating of the 6th district race from Likely Republican to Safe Republican.
