Another state of particular interest and the only open-seat for the Senate not to go to the Democrats was Tennessee. An illustration of voter preference by county actually shows a lot more blue than the map of Missouri. And like McCaskill, Ford too, won the major urban areas -- Nashville and Memphis. But what he could not take was the extreme eastern corridor from Chattanooga and Knoxville to Johnson City. As the former mayor of Chattanooga, Corker's hold on that portion of the state seems like a given, and the degree of blue throughout the center of the state says alot about Ford's strategy. It just wasn't enough.
