The Race For The 2010 Gubernatorial Nomination

By Kleinheider Posted on September 6, 2008 at 12:45 pm

The beginnings of the race were evident at the major party national conventions these past two weeks:

“That’s clearly been the back story of this week,” Rep. Wamp said. “You see the race starting to take shape. There’s no question in 2010 there’s going to be a huge race for the governor’s seat, and it’s going to develop between Nov. 4 and January, when the president is sworn in. It’s going to be a two-year campaign.”

Another potential gubernatorial candidate, Lt. Gov. Ron Ramsey, hosted a similar event for the Tennessee delegation. Rep. Marsha Blackburn, R-Tenn., and former Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist, both also reportedly considering a run at the governor’s seat, had prominent speaking roles at the convention.

“We have a very strong bench,” Rep. Wamp said. “It’s made for quite a few fun jokes this week.”

    Zach, the paint has dried — it’s safe to come out of the corner now. You are needed in Washington.

    Zack Wamp is a complete idiot. The LAST thing TN needs is a Governor who thinks he can preach like he’s on the 700 club while he governs like he’s George Bush! Of couse, this means that B Hobbs and the we hate everything but our white country club friends crew will embrace him with open arms.
