Gubernatorial Debate
Monday evening, I watched the Tennessee Gubernatorial debate. It featurd the four major candidates in the race - Republicans Ron Ramsey, Zach Wamp, and Bill Haslam; and Democrat Mike McWherter.
I say, if the media wanted to elect Haslam any more, they should have just uninvited the other three candidates and called it the Bill Haslam hour.
I pondered for a moment why the left-leaning local media wouldn't want to push Mr. McWherter more, then it dawned on me:
Despite being the son of the Tennessee Democratic party's sweetheart - Ned McWherter - Mike has no real chance of winning this election. Polls show him losing by wide double-digit margins against any of the three republican candidates.
That being said, Ron Ramsey is a devout conservative. Zach Wamp, despite 16 years in Washington, leans fairly heavy to the conservative side. Haslam is as liberal as one can get away with in TN and still have the (R) beside one's name.
That's why the media favors Haslam, he is really one of them, and will do more to accomplish theur liberal goals than will either of the other republican candidates.
Vote Ron Ramsey.
