So Is Bill Frist Running For Governor Or Not?
Posted on December 31, 2008 at 12:52 pmBill Haslam’s actions indicate he thinks not:
There will be a one-hour breakfast meeting at Pilot Corp. headquarters next Wednesday (Jan. 7) where about 100 guests will hear a status report on Knoxville Mayor Bill Haslam’s plans to run for governor in 2010.
Jimmy Haslam, CEO of Pilot and the mayor’s brother, issued the invitations to the group of heavy hitters with a promise the 7:30 a.m meeting will last no longer than an hour. Jimmy Haslam, who was a major player in raising money for the election of his friend Bob Corker to the U.S. Senate, is expected to play a major role in his brother’s campaign as well.
Thank You, Mr. Helper
Posted on April 29, 2008 at 10:25 amSean Braisted translates Kim McMillan’s explanation as to why she supported a state income tax for Tennessee in 2002, but doesn’t now:
What I think she wants to say is that she supported the income tax because it was the right thing to do, but the voters of Tennessee are such sheep that they really believe a regressive sales tax is better for them. But of course, she can’t say this, so I will.
Reminder: Kim McMillan Voted For The Income Tax
Posted on April 28, 2008 at 9:29 amSean Braisted gives Kim McMillan a vote of confidence as a Gubernatorial candidate but notes that she has an unfortunate vote in her past that could prove troublesome if she is able to poke through into the general election:
Kim McMillan is probably the most qualified, in terms of experience with State issues, to be Governor out of all of those potential names (sans perhaps Bill Purcell, though even then, she might have the edge). Of course, probably her biggest hurdle will be her vote in favor of a State Income tax, the great bogeyman in Tennessee politics. Personally, of all those who have actually expressed interest so far, McMillan seems to be the best fit for me, though we’ll see how this develops.
