Well, it depends a little on turnout, I guess. What makes me hesitate is that Corker polled over 50% in two polls in a row (can't remember which ones) and had a 12 point lead in one of them. Tennessee has also never sent an African-American to the Senate, so one wonders if there's a certain margin Ford needs going into election day.
