Jim Kyle For Governor?

By Kleinheider Posted on January 7, 2009 at 1:52 pm

Not right now. But, if Harold Ford says no, it may be a different story. From Jackson Baker:

Among the potential Democratic candidates are Knoxville publisher (and former state Democratic chairman) Doug Horne, state Senator Roy Herron of Dresden, U.S. Rep. Lincoln Davis, former state House majority leader Kim McMillan of Clarksville, and state Senator Andy Berke of Chattanooga. Another possibility is the Democratic state Senate leader Jim Kyle of Memphis (see editorial), who is a possible entry if the oft-rumored candidacy of former 9th district congressman Harold Ford Jr. does not develop.

UPDATE: The office of Senator Kyle responds to the speculation:

Clearly, as someone how has been a leader in state government for over 25 years, Senator Kyle has interest in the position of Governor. However, he agrees with his fellow Memphian Harold Ford, Jr. that it is far too early for such discussion.

    Link to the Flyer home page??

    When are you going to stop hyping a nepotistic nincompoop who can’t win outside his family’s fiefdom?

    Jim Kyle would be vastly superior to what’s-his-name and doesn’t need to defer to any Tennessee Democrat.

    All I’ll observe, preserving both confidences and proprieties, is that “speculation” is too reserved a word.
