Wamp Gubernatorial Effort Isn’t Waiting For Frist Decision

By Kleinheider Posted on August 16, 2008 at 4:00 pm

Ed Cromer reports that Rep. Zach Wamp is doing all he can to get a jump on the competition in the 2010 Governor’s race:

U.S. Rep. Zach Wamp (R-Chattanooga) appeared at fund-raisers Wednesday for Republican state House candidates Barbara Blanton and Terri Lynn Weaver. Blanton is challenging Rep. Curt Cobb (D-Shelbyville), and Weaver is the GOP nominee for the open seat in District 40, where Rep. Frank Buck (D-Dowelltown) is retiring.

Wamp, who plans to run for governor if Bill Frist doesn’t, has put up at least a couple of billboards outside his congressional district with this message: “Zach Wamp. Strong leadership for Tennessee.”

    Too bad Zach is wasting his money. Frist will be a great governor. I can’t wait for the campaign to start.

    Well, no offense, but Zach Wamp doesn’t have a college degree. I realize that he must have worked very hard to get to where he is now, having been a member of Congress for 13 years…but I think I would still prefer a governor who is educated, even if I don’t like either the above named potential candidates or agree with their positions. Rep. Lincoln Davis, a very conservative Democrat from the 4th District, announced that he is running, so looks like the conservatives won’t have an easy choice this time.
