The writer thinks that Chuck didn't show his true mean self until after early voting:

In contemplating the fact that we're stuck with Chuck Fleischmann at least until Democrat Mary Headrick takes a shot at knocking him out of office in November, think about the potential downside of voting early.

After running through all the reasons Chuck won (a really nasty last minute campaign ads funded by PAC money from outside the state) they conclude:

The congressman's vulnerability will only be increased in November.

When asked, nearly everyone dislikes Chuck Fleischmann and nobody can state anything he's done in Congress other than vote against "Obamacare" 50 times. When asked about Mary Headrick's positions without identifying them as coming from a Democrat, nearly everyone agrees strongly with her positions on nearly everything. So why is a disliked candidate who hasn't served his District in any meaningful form so heavily favored in the Fall?

Money! Chuck has lots of it and it's not Tennessee money.

When you figure how close Weston Wamp came to beating Chuck and figure on a large number of his votes came from Democratic crossovers and then add in the fairly impressive number of votes that Dr. Mary got in an unopposed underfunded race, things have to be looking better for the Headrick Campaign to make a strong statement in November.

Can she get the thirty to forty thousand 3rd District voters who favor her as their next Congressperson to each donate $10 and partially level the playing field? That is a huge question.
