| Description | Is state Rep. Joe Carr, R-Lascassas, the tea party candidate revving up to challenge U.S. Sen. Lamar Alexander in next year’s Republican primary?
It appears that way.
Conservative talk show host Ralph Bristol of 99.7 WTN teased media on Monday about an upcoming announcement from a guest on his show Tuesday morning at around 7:05 a.m. that would “significantly alter the 2014 political landscape.”
Meanwhile, Carr’s campaign spokesman Justin Wax later confirmed to The Tennessean that the state representative would be appearing on the program at that same time.
Many observers are speculating the appearance will mark the coming-out-party for a long-awaited tea party candidate to challenge the 73-year-old Alexander, who has become a target of those from the far right.
All observers on Monday pointed to Carr. |
