Good morning, Nashville. We can’t say we were too shocked to see that everyone’s favorite Metro Councilman Eric Crafton dominated the “Best Local Politician You Love To Hate” category for the Scene’s Best of Nashville readers’ poll. Now the man himself is challenging Mayor Karl Dean to a duel over English Only–debate-style. Will the mayor take him up on it, or will he chicken out? We’re not sure yet since he doesn’t seem to be answering his phone. His habit of shying away from controversy has made the news lately, but this is one thing he’s been pretty vocal about. If it does happen, though, we want front row seats.
- Seeing double. Who knew there were so many Joe the Plumbers, and right here in Middle Tennessee? The Joes are excited that they’re getting so much attention from the candidates, but they’re still not sure who they’re voting for.

- Bits & pieces. If you registered to vote in 2004 but didn’t actually vote, you’ll probably find your name on the list in the Tennessee Tribune … Undocumented immigrants sue a TN cheese factory for withholding wages … September unemployment in Tennessee was 7.2%, which is the highest it’s been in 21 years.
