Yep, my buddy and local Congressional Representative Bart (never met an Al Gore - Nancy Pelosi proposal he couldn't gobble) Gordon is placed on Politico's "Top 10 Democrats on High Alert"...

Rep. Bart Gordon (D-Tenn.)
Gordon’s one of a growing list of Democratic lawmakers who are likely to have a serious challenge for the first time in a long time in 2010. Though Sen. John McCain won his district with 62 percent of the vote in the 2008 presidential race, Gordon, the chairman of the House Science and Technology Committee, voted with Democrats on “party unity” votes 90 percent of the time in the previous Congress, according to CQ.
Lou Ann Zelenik, who just resigned her post as a county party chairwoman, is vying for the right to face Gordon next November. Gordon told POLITICO that the results in Virginia and New Jersey could have a chilling effect on Democratic politics, including the health care legislation working its way through Congress.
“It definitely slows down the Democratic momentum,” Gordon said.

Follow Lou Ann Zelenik on Twitter @louannzelenik and at Facebook. More on Lou Ann Zelenik, compiled by the dismal Murfreesboro Post prior to her 2008 State Representative run...

Zelenik, 53, retired last year as a founding partner in L & N Construction Company. She is an Engineering graduate from Vanderbilt University. She currently serves as a member of the Rutherford County Planning Commission and as Vice-Chair of the Rutherford County Republican Party.

In announcing her campaign, Zelenik cited her business experience, raising a child as a single parent and her “mainstream conservative” philosophy as qualities she brings to her efforts to represent the 48th district. “I understand what it means to struggle through hard economic times. I understand the challenges of meeting a payroll, and most of all, I know the importance of raising a child alone while sharing our mainstream conservative values.”

Zelenik cited several issues she sees as critical areas of concern. “Our next state representative must help clean up the culture of corruption personified by speaker Jimmy Naifeh. We need to also address the lack of enforcement against illegal immigration at both the state and federal levels.”

Zelenik continued, “During these difficult economic times, I believe government must control its own house, and limit its adverse impact on the budgets of hard working Tennesseeans. My successful business experience will help me be a positive force in doing just that.”

Oh. The Murfreesboro Post is little more than worthless drivel, I seldom read it, but this time I'll give it a link.

Lou Ann Zelenik called out Bart Gordon for hiding from the voters in August. Bart Gordon was fearful and dead set against having Town Hall meetings. He finally gave up a Town Hall meeting August 26 at MTSU (video, watch @ 17-minute mark for an old man who's known Bart Gordon since he was a child, calling out Bart on his actions), having been shamed by Lou Ann Zelenik and the Daily News Journal, but not because he wanted to. Mostly he cowers, cowers from questions on why he is so stuck to Nancy Pelosi's skirt tails, in opposition to the majority of his constituents.

Bart Gordon voted for Cap and Trade.

Bart Gordon voted for the Health Care reform known as "Obamacare".

Today, I read that some Liberal sorts are also digging in, wanting Bart Gordon to vote for ObamaCare: Silence Isn't Golden: Backlash At Bart Gordon (includes a link to some SEIU Union Thugs crying their eyes out, and some professional "Community Organizers" working to leverage Leftism - Socialism.

OK, here's the video. See also @ 38:00, for the booing!
