Marsha Maintaining Her Brand

By Kleinheider Posted on September 1, 2008 at 9:38 am

Blake Fontenay discusses what the future may hold for conservative firebrand Congressman Marsha Blackburn:

She could run for governor in two years. However, it’s interesting that former U.S. senator Bill Frist, another potential gubernatorial candidate, decided to endorse Blackburn in her race against Leatherwood.

That could indicate that the two of them have come to some arrangement about not running against each other.

Blackburn could also have her eye on a U.S. Senate seat, although Bob Corker was just elected two years ago and Lamar Alexander is running for re-election this year. A few years from now, who knows?

If McCain wins the presidency, Sabato thinks there’s at least an outside chance he could appoint Blackburn to some job in his administration.

Or Blackburn could stay in the House, rise through the ranks and hope Republicans eventually recapture the majority there.

One thing seems clear: Whatever she decides to do, she won’t be doing it quietly.
