I disagree! Fleischmann is just another rich attorney who bought his seat. He was self funded and hired Chip Saltsman, the Huckabee presidential campaign manager, to run his campaign. Those two things should set off warning bells for true conservatives. Saltsman called in some favors and got the Huckabee endorsement for Fleischmann. Robin came up through the Republican ranks as TN party chair, but was not a RINO. Yesterday was a sad day when two rich candidates, Fleischmann and Haslam, were able to buy their seats with slick campaigns and negative ads. It seems like campaigns are now won on the basis of who can afford to hire the best PR/Advertising company.
