Sounds like a bunch of pay back for the Haslams contibutions to campaigns on brhalf of the same click that gave us Don Sunquist---That was a great move.. We need a real Tennessean and someone that shares the beliefs of Tennesseans. Not just another pawn in the republican power broker's arsinal of unfunded liabilities. They still don't get it!!!! If the republican party (tennessee machine) actually represented our states belief's none of us would have attended any Tea Party's. Make no mistake- They to are the problem.

And that’s in part because the Republicans feel the need to perpetually seek Truth in Conservatism, whereas the Democrats have presented as relatively un-bold pragmatists, with frontrunners McWherter (gays) and Herron (God, guns) anchoring some socially conservative points but otherwise generally hoping their ability to connect with a base was likely to determine a winner. I shudder, actually, to think what the general election might look like without Herron, as he was a forceful floor speaker who was probably the most unafraid to take on progressive causes strategically and with charisma. Kyle has no problem on the attack (“Kurita.” “Who?”), so that might be fun, but I’m still waiting for a grand populist (or otherwise) outburst from one of the Democratic contenders that makes running for governor as a Democrat seem like it’s not only fun but also the right thing to do. Otherwise, Bill Haslam, coasting calmly above the wingnut fray, will likely resonate more genuinely with Tennessee voters angling for another Bredesen (a pragmatic administrator coming from a recent background of municipal executive experience) and not disrupt my original prophecy.
