Tennessee Dem Lincoln Davis Running For Governor In 2010

Congressman Lincoln Davis (D-TN) has announced that he will run for governor in 2010, when incumbent Democrat Phil Bredesen will be term-limited, potentially setting up a primary with former Congressman and 2006 Senate nominee Harold Ford.

Davis, a relatively conservative Democrat, doesn't seem to worry that a primary will actually happen. "I've made up my mind to run for governor," he told the Memphis Commercial Appeal. "I don't think [Ford] is going to run because Lincoln Davis is going to run. I would imagine that if I'm in the race, he'll step aside."

There is also a strong chance that former Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist could end up being the Republican nominee for governor — so keep an eye on this gubernatorial race to be a fun one in 2010.
