   “Representative Stacey Campfield (R-Knoxville) dared Democratic gubernatorial candidates to let him interview them.

   Ward Cammack took the dare.”

   Finally. A politician with some balls. What a pleasent suprise. Good luck to both Ward Cammack and ‘Cowboy’ Campfield. This could only be good for an informed electorate.

   “This could only be good for an informed electorate.”

   You do know, don’t you, this election is in Tennessee?

   Consequently, your statement may not apply.

   Big, hairy Carnack is gotta look like a big, hairy buffoon.

   With no money and no one that really cares about him, guess he’ll take any publicity he can get.

   “Big, hairy Carnack is gotta look like a big, hairy buffoon.”

   There’s my evidence.

   Stacee will eat big, hairy Carnack for lunch. Carnack’s gonna look like more of an idiot than he already does.

   Shouldn’t that be “We are all EFFECTED”?

   More evidence for Davy above.

   Affect = verb. Effect = noun.

   Don’t make no difference. Won’t neither one of them make any sense.

   Effect can be a verb: “to cause to come into being”; “The Civil Rights movement effected a change in our nation’s race relations.”

   But in this case, GoldnI, you’re right. I just had to get that out of my system.

    In regards to the actual topic at hand, I think this is a pretty smart move on Cammack’s part. He seems to have been floundering a bit recently, with poor fundraising and little publicity. His enormous policy paper that he released earlier in the week was good though, and a hell of a lot more thorough than anything I’d expected from a gubernatorial candidate. Anyway, a good performance here could get him back on the map.

    Use affected in a Sentence
    –adjective 1. acted upon; influenced.
    2. influenced in a harmful way; impaired, harmed, or attacked, as by climate or disease.

    The author is correct, to have used the word Affected.

    We are ALL INFLUENCED (Present tense) in a harmful way by the current economy.

    Who wrote that position paper for Cammack? No candidate ever actually writes a position paper.

    There’s no chance of a “good” performance from Cammack in this interview. The questions will be about birth certificates for abortions and such nonsense.

    Stacey could ask him how come Mississippi is beating us on this:

    Having seen Ward speak I think Campfield will make him look very bad.

    If Stacey does another round with the Republicans, I hope he’ll ask Rambo the question above. Though I know the answer.

    I expect Zach would be the only one to win that particular bonus round.

    Donna,

    Watch the videos. I did ask that question.

    Stacey, I know you asked it. You did a good job holding them to the questions. I heard what they said. I’m just mentioning the details. I’ve seen the outs they give the employers in the bills while appearing to do something on this issue. They’re trying to please too many people. I’m not talking about you. I’m talking about leadership and what happens in committee. No excuse in the state senate.

    They need to look at what other states have done. But there has to be enforcement and real punishment for noncompliance.

    Not so hot, Sound Check. One of my one-liners vanished, but it wasn’t important.

    It would be good if Campfield would just go ahead and come out of the closet. His inner turmoil is only exacerbated by his homosexuality remaining closeted. It’s so obvious to everyone with a brain (that doesn’t live in the hills). Maybe one day the eastern portion of the state will become educated members of the 21st century and elect someone who is qualified. Until then, it’s only embarrassment for the “reds” of Knoxville and East Tennessee.
