The Knoxville NEWS SENTINEL reports that state Sen. Rosalind Kurita yesterday said she would seek the 2006 Democratic nomination for the seat of Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist, R-Tenn., who is not expected to seek re-election. Kurita, a Clarksville nurse, won a new four-year term last month. Rep. Harold E. Ford Jr. of Memphis is also weighing a Senate race, but Kurita "said she is running regardless of Ford's decision," the paper reported. At least three Republicans say they will seek the GOP nomination: former Rep. Ed Bryant, Chattanooga Mayor Bob Corker and outgoing state Republican Chairwoman Beth Harwell.It will be interesting to see if Tipper Gore also throws her hat into the race.
