Who did you want, Ramsey, the one guy that McWherter would beat......
As usual statewide in TN the two ostensibly conservative candidates split the GOP open primary vote on the right handing it easily to the moderate...and a well heeled one this time
it’s how we got Corker and others in the past and how we lost decent Congressional candidates a few months ago to nobodies
you have no proof whatsoever Ramsey would have lost to McWherter..none...just your hunch
one that I doubt especially in this election year
Are you kidding? Tennessee only elected Bredesen because the last governor was such a RINO that he poisoned the well for the next Republican candidate.
Ramsey was the best candidate in the primary. He was actually a conservative, not just a RINO masquerading as one. Unfortunately, he lost the primary, and we have Haslam. This happens in Tennessee a lot, apparently. The RINO party leadership always pushes the most liberal republican possible.
At any rate, the primary's over and Haslam is the republican candidate. Let's hope he can stay on the right side of the aisle.
