YES he can beat AC..IF he runs an aggressive campaign..his campaign people were Dr. Frist people :-)

AC's biggest problem is his defense of criminals..this can be used to an advantage by Flinn. Consilidation will be an issue as is the tax issue.

I hope so. He can't use the "he voted for taxes" approach this time. That turned out to be a real winner in the primary. Gotta run. Have a good evening.

No doubt, Flinn's got the money. But will Flinn get the moderates back into the GOP? I doubt it, since many Republicans are supporting Wharton. Flinn is just too far to the right for mainstream folks here. AC will defeat Flinn by at least 20 points.

This is a totally assinine statement, and only the gullible will use that argument. Of course AC defended criminals -- that explains his job title of Shelby County Public Defender. Every community has one to defend the accused. The fact that every accused person has a right to legal representation is one of the cornerstones of our justice system.

Flinn's smart enough to know that AC's job is that of public defender and that the pd is required by law to take defense cases that private attorneys won't. Unless you want to change the law that provides the accused such legal counsel, you really can't intelligently criticize the fact that AC defended criminals -- it was the job you and I and the other taxpayers pay him for.

I'm gladly supporting Wharton over Flinn. Moderates won't back right-winger George Flinn esp since Wharton (who was criticized by his liberal partymates as being "too Republican") is closer to the center. See what anti-NBA fanaticism does for the GOP -- it splits the party and leaves them unable to compete county-wide.
