Bad Move, Phil
Phil Bredesen is courting Republicans who voted for Jim Henry in the primary. Hmm. Lessee. Henry is for the Income Tax, big time. Once signed up to help Gov. McWherter lobby for it. Bredesen says he's against it for now, but could be for it, but really isn't, but might be, but not right now, but in the future might change his mind and be for the income tax even though he isn't right now at this point which, just coincidentally, is in the middle of a campaign...

Anyone think Bredesen is courting Henry's supporters as a way to signal pro-IT Democrats that he's really not the big ogre they think he is regarding their favored tax?

Half-Bakered recently had the best description of Bredesen's position on the income tax, calling it "movable."
