NEW: Whether Glenn Jacobs runs for governor could hinge on whether Marsha Blackburn does. And it seems probably she will, which means her seat in the U.S. Senate will be up for grabs. https://t.co/K5U7Q05BBx
SCOOP: For someone who hasn't said he's running for governor, @GlennJacobsTN sure looks like he's running for governor. He's raising money for a "potential campaign." https://t.co/XJOe15EZOs
