Does he have a brother named “Mug”?.............
My congressman...
Can we get John J Hooker instead? /sarcasm I supported Wamp for years. His YES vote on bailout was the last straw. Wamp talks conservative but thats about it. I also will not vote for any GOP Clown who called in recorded messages supporting Corker.
Wamp = king RINO
The TN Governor primary looking like a contest between Wamp vs the Knoxville Mayor. Wamp running means Fred ain’t running. Wamp was handling Fred’s campaign. So he’ll have a big list of donors to call. Wouldn’t be surprised if Romney supporters attempt to trash Wamp. In their eyes, Wamp, by encouraging Fred to run, denied Willard of his birthright. That said, I prefer if Lt Gov. Ramsey ran. Being a Congressman is a liability these days and the Knoxville Mayor remains me too much of Sen. Corker.
The Dems may try to recruit Tim McGraw to run for Governor. If they do that, perhaps the GOP ought to counter with Michael W. Smith or Amy Grant?
If this ends up between Bailout Whoomp and “Mayors against guns” Haslam, I will vote 3rd party. Neither is acceptable. I’m either going with Ramsey or Marsha Blackburn, though I’m still hoping Fred Thompson comes back to cap off his career.
As far as I can tell, Wamp has a good chance at winning the nomination. And if the GOP wins the Governorship, they control redistricting, and we all know what that means.
In a related development, it appears that Republican state Senator Bo Watson is the favorite to succeed Wamp in the House.
He voted for the bailout the second time it was offered. That will weigh against him. We don’t need another RINO like our previous republican governor Sundquest (”Taxquest”) who tried to instate an income tax in Tennessee, which is forbidden by the Tennessee State Constitution.
