Cooler Heads Prevail: Rep. David Davis Will Not Ask For A Recount

By Kleinheider Posted on August 15, 2008 at 9:46 am

Though, he wants you to know, that he totally would have won if he had:

“I am announcing today that even though I have the law on my side, I have decided not to pursue an election contest with the Republican Primary Board. I love East Tennessee and I love America, therefore it is in the best interest of everyone concerned that I concede the election to my primary opponent. I have contacted Mr. Roe and made him aware of my decision.

“May God Bless the First Congressional District and may God Bless America.”

That’s okay. We still have a couple of state Senate races with pending recounts, don’t we?

[...] folks over at the Tennessee Republican Party are glad that Rep. David Davis decided not to turn the next meeting of the state executive committee into a circus: Tennessee Republican Party [...]

Speaking of the Shutt vs Gresham race. I think the most well known Shutt from Savannah in a few years will probably be Sam. This kid is at TCU in Fort Worth playing wide receiver. Its a shame Fulmer or Tommy West couldnt get this kid.
