McWherter sighting

Submitted by R. Neal on Sun, 2007/09/09 - 10:16am.

Mike McWherter was spotted at a five-county Democratic Party Labor Day picnic in Clarksville.

According to the article, McWherter spoke the crowd and said he is "seriously considering the option" of running for Senate against Lamar Alexander. He said Republican policies on Iraq are wrong, and that the Bush administration is "mortgaging our country's future" with out of control debt.

McWherter was introduced by Kim McMillan, Senior Advisor to Gov. Bredesen. Other notable speakers mentioned in the article were TNDP Charmian Gray Sasser, State Sen. Rosalind Kurita, Rep. Jim Cooper, TN AFL/CIO president Jerry Lee, and International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers president R. Thomas Buffenbarger.

There was a straw poll, and Hillary Clinton was the "clear favorite" with Edwards coming in second.



I'll have to keep track of

I'll have to keep track of McWherter. It's time for the state to give someone else a chance.

So the latest straw poll favors Hillary? It doesn't surprise me that she's the favorite, she tops the email joke list I receive regularly from my republican relatives. Well... second anyway... I guess Bill still has a firm grip of the top.
