Senator Andy Berke Confirms Gubernatorial Exploration
By Kleinheider Posted on January 5, 2009 at 10:29 amSean Braisted with the breaker:
Just got off the phone with Sen. Berke, and he is exploring the possibility of running for Governor, and going through the logistics to see if a run is feasible. If he does decide to jump in, he thinks his State Senate district, which compromises Urban, Suburban, and Rural areas, will have helped prepare him to craft a message that appeals to all segments of the State of Tennessee. His candidacy would certainly boost the morale of a lot of youngish Democrats that I know who were not excited about the current prospects on the table.
UPDATE: Berke emails supporters announcing his gubernatorial explorations.
SEE ALSO:
Berke refuses to confirm exploration to mainstream media.
Aunt B. admires the message.
