Premised On The Assumption Wamp Will Get Past The Primary

Which, he won’t. A blogger declares Rep. Zach Wamp’s congressional seat “open”:

Wamp’s move also means that TN-03 becomes one of the first open seats of the 2010 cycle. Unfortunately for Democrats, it is very difficult to envision them mounting a competitive run. The district is very conservative, and it gave George Bush 61% of the vote in 2004. (The 2008 results aren’t available yet, but we know that McCain crushed Obama in each of the eight counties that make up the district.)

    The gubernatorial and House primaries occur on the same day, so even if Wamp loses the Republican primary to Heisam he cannot jump back in the House race. So TN-03 is open whether or not Wamp wins the primary.

    Perhaps he’ll run for both posts, and the extra cost to the public be damned. Worked for Joe Biden.
