From the Knoxville News Sentinel:
The race pits the popularity that generally benefits an incumbent against party loyalty in a highly Republican area. Democrats are backing Williams, and – one suspects – Faulk may be pointing that out more often in the last days.
The Senate District 12 contest between Democrat Becky Ruppe, now Morgan County mayor, and Republican Ken Yager, former Roane County mayor, has evolved into the biggest mud-slinging event this Senate season.
Curiously, some of the mud has been flung back and forth about the candidates’ respective home counties.
