    - Satellite groups who have been supporting Blackburn have spent $7 million, while on the other hand groups who have been supporting Bredesen have spent $3.6 million
    - Blackburn supported Trump in the 2016 presidential election while Bredesen did not
    - The Tennessee senate race is the single most important senate race in the country]]>     2018-10-29 16:05:47 UTC https://padlet.com/calecad/e6tgiqvixg71/wish/298106205     Prediction calecad https://padlet.com/calecad/e6tgiqvixg71/wish/298106264 - When it is all said and done Anthony and I predict that Marsha Blackburn will win the election.
    - First, Tennessee is a more conservative state and Mrs. Blackburn is the Republican nominee
    - Secondly, she is leading the polls 51 to 46 percent
    - Although, the polls aren't in Bredesen's favor he still has a chance. He is a moderate Democrat and supported Brett Kavanaugh and has supported some of President Trump's political ideas. ]]>     2018-10-29 16:05:52 UTC https://padlet.com/calecad/e6tgiqvixg71/wish/298106264     Sources calecad https://padlet.com/calecad/e6tgiqvixg71/wish/298106318 https://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2018/senate/tn/tennessee_senate_blackburn_vs_bredesen-6308.html
