Shame about Don Sundquist. I remember him from my YR days, when he was the more conservative candidate for YR Chairman, against Frank Fahrenkopf of Nevada.
He was in DC for 12 years, long enough to have become corrupted. I don’t know what was the tipping point, but as soon as I saw him showing up at functions with our former Nashville/Davidson County Sheriff, Fate Thomas, a convicted felon and epitome of good-ole-boy Democrat politics, I knew something was very, very wrong (and boy, was I right).
