Tennessee Democratic Rep. John Tanner will retire next November, creating an open seat in an area that strongly favors Republicans.
Tanner’s decision, according to those familiar with it, was made weeks ago and based on his desire to return to the Volunteer State after more than two decades in Washington. The decision was first reported by the Hotline.
Tanner, first elected to the 8th district in 1988, has run without a serious challenge in recent years despite the fact that Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) won the seat with 56 percent in 2008.
Ok, all you folks over there in the Jackson area! Get it in gear! Dems need to become the MINORITY!
