Tennessee
9 seats: 5R, 4D R 51
Incumbents coasted in 1998, with Democrat Bart Gordon the only one to face much
competition in a district that saw a big drop in Democratic performance in 1996.
All of the remaining districts well-match the incumbent party except for John
Tanner's District 8, where Tanner seems safely ensconced. Three incumbents face
no major party opposition in 2000.
