a coup for wamp. looks like little billy’s gonna have to spend more money.
money he raises or his dad’s???
Bob Davis, huh… Let’s hope he’s as successful electing Wimp as he was electing Papaw…er Thompson.
Well Mr. Bob got Fred elected twice in Tennessee. So yeah…let’s hope he is as successful.
Mr. Bob? Hah. Yeah and he did really well during the P2008 race…give me a break.
Last I checked, running for Govenor of Tennessee wasn’t a nationwide race. Unless I missed something? Davis certainly knows what he’s doing and has proved it in Tennessee…where THIS race will be won.
Bob Davis? The same guy that lead the campaign for Ira Brody? Yea.. that worked out really well.
Bob Davis cost Brody the Tres. job… Remember that Phill Williams interview… that was Bob Davis’s idea. Good luck Wamp… with staff like Bob Davis your going to need it.
etn goper - You are so right. Ira is a good man who has done so much for the Party and hacks like Davis cost him the chance to help the State of Tennessee it our time of need. I thought Wamp was my man in the race. Not any more.
You guys are just jealous of Bob’s pimp’n hair. Who cares if he cost some guy noone knows a job. His hair speaks for itself.
Two words for wamp: Third place
Wow…looks like billy’s paid folks to leave comments too….
ETN GOPER - Why don’t you ask Ron Ramsey how he became Lieutenant Governor of Tennessee. Answer: Bob Davis.
Don’t pick on me!! I need a job and Wamp is the only guy that would hire me
Money is tight and I get my hair colored every two weeks.
Bob is going to show Ramsey young boys how it is done.
The Fred team is taking the State back over!!!!!
Haslam can’t buy this race
Our these guys Wamp’s former drug buddies or campaign staff?
Hey Zach go twitter on how liberal you are or go twitter Bob’ mustache.
Hey Peter Fred hasn’t taking anything over since he got married.
