Stateline provides an analysis of governors who might have trouble translating their political success and popularity nationally:

Bredesen hasn’t actively distanced himself from the state Democratic party, yet observers say that his popularity, which remains high despite a revenue slowdown that has forced cuts, stems from his image as a businessman.

I don’t know. If Bredesen doesn’t consciously or “actively” distance himself from his party, his passive distancing sure packs quite the wallop from time to time, wouldn’t you say?
