The Limits Are The Thing
Posted on May 18, 2009 at 8:09 amWhile Ron Ramsey seems optimistic about passing a bill this session that would free up he and other gubernatorial candidates across the aisle to raise money during next year’s legislative session, Kent Williams is not so sure noting that the bill, progressing nicely in the Senate, finds itself in a closed House subcommittee.
Either way, what is noteworthy about this bill is not just the lifting of the legislative ban. Certainly, this is important for all candidates but another portion of the bill is just as important, if not more.
This bill retroactively indexes for inflation the limits individual contributors can give to a candidate over a two year period. A bump from $2,000 to $2,800 for legislative candidates and a bump from $5,000 to $7,000 for gubernatorial candidates.
That is big. Now no Republican is going to be able to match the dollars that Bill Haslam spends, just as no Democrat will be able to match Ward Cammack. It isn’t about catching them because even if they were caught, each could simply write a check.
The point is funding the campaign they need to run the race they need to run. And a legislator is going to be hard pressed to fund a viable campaign with contribution limits set in 1995 and a fundraising ban during much of the year. The campaigns can manage without one, but not both.
Ramsey can deal with the session band — if when session is out he can go to his biggest contributors and hit them up (and their wives and their children) for an extra 2K. You start getting 2K more a maxed out contributor, your coffers start filling up quick.
So while the focus in the media is on lifting the ban, indexing the limits are just as important. Ramsey, if he wants to mount a legitimate campaign against Haslam, can deal with a ban or unindexed limit — but not both.
A bill fixing one or both of these problems needs to pass before lawmakers leave for the year in a few weeks or the Ramsey campaign may be done before it even starts.

Jim Kyle’s End Of Session Gubernatorial Announcement
Posted on May 4, 2009 at 6:48 amIt seems pretty clear what it’s going to be. Jackson Baker reveals that all signals point to a Jim Kyle candidacy for governor:
The nature of that announcement seemed clear enough as he expounded on his likely strategy. “I’m going to build a wall around Memphis,” said Kyle, who had previously floated trial balloons for both a gubernatorial race and one for Shelby County mayor. As he clarified his metaphor, it became obvious which way he intended to go.
“I’m going to build a wall around Memphis,” he repeated, “and then work hard on the rest of the state.” Which is a fairly definite way of saying that, with no other Democrats from Shelby County seeking the governorship, he intends to consolidate home-base support as a first step toward running statewide.
Kyle was asked: Is fellow Shelby Countian Bill Gibbons able to build a similar wall? “Nope,” he said firmly, “not with Brad Martin raising money for Bill Haslam.” Martin, a former state representative and Memphis-based entrepreneur, is one of the state’s high-stakes political players; Haslam, an oil-company scion and the mayor of Knoxville, is favored by many observers to win the GOP nomination.
Jim Kyle’s Ittie Bittie Twittie Gubernatorial Exploratory Committee
Posted on April 25, 2009 at 3:26 pmSen. Jim Kyle, oft-mentioned as a possible candidate for governor, makes veiled reference to his pondering:
Sen. Kyle Says Ramsey Can Resign If He Doesn’t Like Fundraising Rules
Posted on April 2, 2009 at 8:20 amThe Memphis state Senator on the Lt. Governor’s complains about not being able to raise funds for gubernatorial race during session:
“The governor himself can raise money,” Lt. Gov. Ramsey said. “If you’re a sitting congressman you can raise money. Why shouldn’t someone in the legislature, if they’re running for an office, also be able to raise money?”
Sen. Kyle said he agrees with the lieutenant governor to “an extent.” But he pointed out that Sen. Ramsey and Senate Republicans opposed changing state law several years ago to allow two Democratic House members running in special Senate elections to raise funds back home.
“I’m not necessarily supportive based on the positions he and other Republicans have taken over the years,” Sen. Kyle said.
“Ron has a simple remedy,” Sen. Kyle said, recalling how his wife resigned a judgeship to run for the then-state Public Service Commission. “There’s no rule that Ron has to be in the Senate.”
Asked about Lt. Gov. Ramsey’s remarks, Mr. Haslam, a declared candidate, grinned and said, “I’m not worried about Ron. He’ll be OK. I’m assuming they put the law in for a lot of reasons, and I don’t know that I even have an opinion on that. Selfishly, I like it the way it is now.”
But he said, “If they’re going to change it, they need to go back and review why it was put in place in the first place.”

Jim Kyle For Governor?
Posted on January 7, 2009 at 1:52 pmNot 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.
Dude, They Kicked Her Out, Not The Other Way Around
Posted on November 2, 2008 at 11:27 pmSean Braisted asserts that State Senator Rosalind Kurita finally showed her true colors as a “Republican” when she contributed a sizable sum to the Tennessee Republican’s Legislative Campaign Committee.
Now, let’s get this straight. Rosalind Kurita is a pro-choice nanny-statist. Always has been, always will be. If she wanted to be a crypto-Republican, she would have ran straight-up as an Independent in her relection bid instead of running as a Democrat, the only way she could could lose.
What exactly would you have her do? Contribute money to the party that ousted her? Please. While we all like to talk about political parties as though they are about principles and ideas, in the end, parties are just a means to an end. That end, of course, being political power. Parties are not think tanks. They are not universities. They are entities created to achieve electoral victories
Republicans out of pure political opportunism are helping her as best they can. She is returning the favor. It’s just politics, pure and simple.
Kurita needs to get elected. Democrats won’t help. Republicans will. But Kurita is Kurita.
I haven’t seen her change a ideological or policy position to suit her new political friends. You can call her a “Republican” if that makes you feel better, but if you believe that she is any less a champion of the progressive ideals that many would call “Democratic”, you are fooling yourself.
She may have drew first blood by expressing her disgust with the good ole boy Dixiecrat Democratic leadership in the Senate by voting for Republican Speaker Ron Ramsey, but it didn’t have to end this way. The Democratic Party pushed her away just as much more than she pulled away from it.
Say Her Name, Say Her Name
Posted on October 22, 2008 at 11:15 amRosalind Kurita is not on the ballot in her race for re-election to the state Senate yet the Democratic Party wants to remind you that she is running — and that she allegedly violated campaign finance law:
According to a complaint filed today with the Tennessee Registry of Election Finance, Sen. Rosalind Kurita used her political action committee (PAC) to funnel more than $25,000 in illegal contributions to her Senate campaign.
According to the sworn complaint filed by Ricky Wallace of Montgomery County, Kurita in August and September illegally used her Kurita Majority PAC to pay for campaign expenses during that period, including: $17,070 for direct mail, $7,917 for legal services, and $665 for media consulting. Under state law, PACs can only provide up to $7,500 in contributions for a Primary or General Election.
“Unfortunately, Sen. Kurita is so power-hungry that she’s flagrantly violating Tennessee’s campaign finance law,” said Tennessee Democratic Party Chairman Gray Sasser. “She broke the law by crossing the one hundred foot boundary during the primary, and now, she’s cheating by illegally using PAC funds to cover her campaign expenses.”
Interesting that the Party would call attention to Kurita’s PAC which was created to establish a Democratic Majority in the legislature. A rare move for a woman folks now paint as a crypto-Republican.
So, not only are Democrats calling attention to the fact that residents of the Senate’s 22nd District can in fact vote for Rosalind Kurita via write-in, they are calling attention to the fact that Rosalind Kurita’s vote for Ron Ramsey in 2007 may not have been exactly what it looked like at first glance.
Write-In Ros Nabs Another Endorsement
Posted on October 16, 2008 at 11:00 amFrom a press release:
Senator Rosalind Kurita (D-Clarksville) received a major endorsement from the Tennessee State Employees Association (TSEA) in her write-in campaign for the State Senate.
“From those state employees who provide disaster relief, to those who work with children in foster care, and from those who protect our highways to those who care for the mentally ill and developmentally disabled, our state is fortunate to have so many dedicated state workers,” said Sen. Kurita. “I am honored to receive this endorsement and appreciate their support.”
The Tennessee State Employees Association represents hundreds of state employees in the 22nd Senatorial District, which includes Montgomery, Cheatham and Houston counties.

In The Kurita Race, The Hand On The Faucet Is Outside The District
Posted on October 13, 2008 at 12:02 pmFrom Erik Schelzig:
Kurita, who lost support among many fellow Democrats after she cast a key vote in favor or Republican Sen. Ron Ramsey’s election as Senate speaker in 2007, raised about $31,600 following for her write-in campaign. Barnes, meanwhile, raised about $36,500.
The fundraising numbers reflect the level of outside interest in the race: Kurita raised only $4,000 from people inside the district, while Barnes collected only about $5,000 from potential constituents.

Kurita Answers Motions Filed By Defendants In District Court Case
Posted on October 10, 2008 at 8:08 amSenator Rosalind Kurita’s attorneys answered yesterday various motions by defendants Tim Barnes, the Tennessee Democratic Party, and several state officials urging the United States District Court for Middle Tennessee to dismiss or abstain from judgment in the Fourteenth Amendment case brought to it by Kurita.
Senator Kurita, the certified victor in the 22nd District State Senate Democratic Primary, on Sept. 13th saw her election declared “incurably uncertain” by the Tennessee Democratic Party Executive Committee acting as the State Primary board.
A tri-county convention of executive committee members in the three counties of her district then voted 61-4 to install her opponent, Tim Barnes, as the Democratic nominee. Kurita is currently running as a write-in candidate.
Most political observers believe that the moves against Kurita by Democratic Party officials was payback for her 2007 vote for Republican Speaker of the Senate Ron Ramsey.
Kurita has charged the party with violating her Fourteenth Amendment rights in removing her name from the ballot as the Democratic nominee for the 22nd State Senate District.
At issue in the case is T.C.A. § 2-17-104 which designates a political party’s executive committee as the “decider” in the case of a contested primary election.
Barnes and other defendants contend that this law was properly applied in the contested election and that the court has no reason to intervene in the matter.
Senator Kurita, in filings by her attorney James Bopp, contends that “T.C.A. § 2-17-104 does not contain any standards or procedures that must be followed by a state primary board in resolving a primary election dispute.”
Kurita’s lawyers make the case that it is thus irrelevant whether due process is afforded in a particular case or not. They argue that T.C.A. § 2-17-104 is unconstitutional because it “empowers the state primary boards to adjudicate protected rights without due process of law.” In making this argument, however, they do not concede that due process was followed in this case.
Kurita’s lawyers’ full answer to the motions filed by Barnes et al is linked here. Defendants’ motions are available below.
A trial on the merits remains scheduled for October 10, 2008, at 10:00 a.m. Today.

How Do You Write-In A Woman Like Kurita?
Posted on October 9, 2008 at 11:44 amI’ll just let her tell you:
The Tennessee Democratic Party voided State Senator Rosalind Kurita’s state-certified 19 vote election victory in a Sept. 13th meeting of the executive committee. She filed an official write candidate two days later.
On September 18th, a tri-county convention of Democratic executive committee members in Montgomery, Cheatham and Houston Counties voted 61-4 to install her opponent Tim Barnes as the nominee.
These ads started running Monday on cable television throughout the 22nd state Senate district.

Bad Tactics
Posted on October 1, 2008 at 5:42 pmIlissa Gold doesn’t understand why the Tennessee Democratic Party is bothering to attack a candidate whose name isn’t even on the ballot:
The primary has been overturned, fairly or not. Now her only hope of winning is to win as a write-in candidate. Do you think that everyone who votes in her district will remember on November 4 a) that they can write her name in and b) how to spell her name correctly if they do? I’d be willing to bet even a majority of Republicans up in Clarksville won’t remember that. This election is in the bag now, the TNDP now just has to hope that they take back the Senate so that Tim Barnes can actually be seated.
What was the point of throwing more fuel on this fire? To me, this just looks completely gratuitous. Cheap shots might make you feel all tough, but are generally not a good way to win an election

Pounds Of Flesh: Running Up The Score On Kurita
Posted on at 2:42 pmThe Tennessee Democratic Party has sunk to a new low this afternoon. After apparently just discovering that tonight’s Rosalind Kurita fundraiser featuring Republican luminaries from the state Senate was being held at Justin Wilson’s Cherokee Equity Corporation, the party released this statement.
NASHVILLE – Rosalind Kurita has shown her true political stripes by putting her career ahead of her principles. Tennessee Democratic Party Chairman Gray Sasser released the following statement in response to a fundraiser for Kurita tonight at the Cherokee Equity Corporation. Cherokee Equity Corporation board member Justin Wilson, in his capacity as Deputy Governor to Republican Govenor Don Sundquist, was one of the architects behind Sundquist’s disastrous state income tax plans.
“Rosalind will say or do anything to help her floundering campaign. Kurita now sides with the income tax proponents of the Tennessee Republican Party for her personal career advancement and for no other reason. Today, we find that she has cast her lot with Don Sundquist and the income tax wing of the Tennessee GOP. She is so desperate to fund her campaign that she will cozy up to any special interest
Please. Like the architects of Tennessee’s state income tax were all Republicans, right?
In fact, one of the big ones, if I remember correctly, was former State Senator Bob Rochelle, who happens to be the lawyer that defended Kurita at that tribunal where the Democratic Party overturned her certified election.
Why not include that in the release? It would certainly bolster the argument-by-association that the Democratic Party is making here, would it not? Is it that Bob Rochelle is too big to mess with? Too much in the good graces of “the club” so to speak, whereas Kurita has been suitably separated from the herd so much that she deserves no courtesy for years of service as a Democrat, is that it?
Followers of Tennessee politics know that Kurita had nothing to do with the income tax. She voted against it.
That opposition, and her love of the guns, are about the only “Republican” things about her. Which is why this all out assault on a lifetime Democrat is so preposterous.
Rosalind Kurita is a progressive populist. She is a nanny statist. She views government as a force for good. The woman is securely within the Democratic ideological spectrum.
Yes, she voted against a Democratic Speaker. So what?
Everybody and their momma knew that Wilder was past his expiration date. Everyone. Nobody, however, was man enough to pull the trigger. Why? Because, under Wilder, Democrats had power.
The only way keep that power was to nominate Wilder, who was capable of peeling off then-Republican Mike Williams for that magic 17.
Democrats love to paint Kurita’s vote against Wilder as a craven power play. Was the power she would gain for her issues and her district by voting for Ramsey an attraction for her? I’m sure they were. No politician walks around trying to get themselves marginalized and she had sat on the Democratic bench quite a few years getting ignored.
But accusing her of a power grab is a bit of the pot calling the kettle black.
John Wilder, essentially a Dixiecrat who stayed in power by ceding a good portion to Republicans, needed to go. The Democratic Party could keep stumbling along in the Senate on the back of, a legend no doubt, but a doddering old man. Or, it could cut loose of the Dixiecrat, let the Republicans have control for a time, and grow a new Democratic Party based, not on power or the good ole boy network, but on progressive ideals.
Kurita saw the opening to drive a stake into the heart of the old Tennessee Democratic Party and she took it. Her vote for Ramsey was a conservative vote, but it was cast for reasons both personal and progressive.
Deep down many Democrats know that Rosalind Kurita is not the crypto-Republican they have painted her to be. They understand why she did what she did, whether they agree with it or not.
If Democrats and Kurita had gotten together and agreed to let the past be the past and work towards the future of a new Democratic Party, all of this would have been unnecessary.
Rosalind Kurita, after all, is a populist, pro-choice on abortion, good government Democrat. She obviously is a bold woman, she wasn’t going to stay put as Ramsey’s pet Democrat for very long.
But because she stood up, after years as a good foot soldier, and attempted to grab a little something for her agenda and in the process free the party of the Old Ways, Senator Jim Kyle got mad and he just couldn’t just let it go. When overtures were made to smooth things over, Kyle, time and time again, chopped up the waters.
It is my belief, and only my belief, that Rosalind Kurita would have voted for just about any Democrat for Speaker except Jim Kyle next year had she been elected as a Democrat. Joe Haynes, Lowe Finney, anyone — she would have voted for them. That is purely my speculative belief but I do not believe it is an unreasonable one.
So, when people call Kurita selfish, it always hits me as curious. Did she vote against Wilder for totally selfless reasons? No, of course not.
But this Jim Kyle-driven assault on Kurita stems from one fact and one fact only. Jim Kyle wants to be speaker. Democrats could have gotten a Democratic speaker (assuming the other numbers were there) with Rosalind Kurita, that much is clear to most political observers, it just wouldn’t have been Jim Kyle.
So, even if one grants that what Kurta did in 2007 stemmed from personal ambition, one must also grant that the political destruction of Rosalind Kurita was motivated by ambition as well — Jim Kyle’s ambition.
Of course, this is all a moot point now. What’s done is done. The Democrats threw away a perfectly good Democrat, a Democrat who had the strength to do what was necessary to “refresh that tree of liberty” and give the party room to grow.
Now, Kurita has been driven out, into the arms of the Republicans, a party with which she has little ideologically in common with. If she somehow manages to win now, with Republican money, managers and a bad taste her mouth for the Democratic Party, there is no chance in hell of her voting for a Democratic Speaker.
The thing is, it didn’t have to be this way. There are Democrats who know this. Not all of them, but many do. Yet they continue even after the deed is done, even after Rosalind Kurita has been stripped of her election, to pile on.
The game is the game, for sure, but this woman was a Democrat until they threw her out. She could have run as an independent, or even a Republican, and won easily. But she didn’t, she entered the Democratic Party primary. Just about the only place she could possibly lose this election. I think some grassroots Democrats currently following the cues of their leadership need to ask themselves why she did that.
Rosalind Kurita is not even on the ballot. I ask you, if the Tennessee Democratic Party can’t beat a woman who isn’t even on the ballot straight up without resorting to painting her an income tax supporter because of the owner of the venue of her fundraiser, what good is the Tennessee Democratic Party?
The Democrats have taken Rosalind Kurita’s party and her ballot position away from her. Is enough, not enough at this point?
Harold Ford To Join Discussion With DLC Founder In Nashville
Posted on at 12:12 pmHost Senator Jim Kyle has just announced that Democratic Leadership Council Chair Harold Ford will join his “Nashville Conversation” patterned on the DLC’s “National Conversation”, the latest of which was held in Nashville.
The talking will commence on Monday at 4:00pm at 417 Union Street. From, Ford and Kyle will be discussing the national landscape facing Democrats in 2008.
Curiously Certain: Barnes Campaign Treasurer Voted In Four GOP Primaries Before August 7th
Posted on September 25, 2008 at 4:47 pmAn interesting email landed yesterday afternoon in the inboxes of the seven GOP Senate Committee Chairs headlining a fundraiser for uprooted incumbent Democratic Senator Rosalind Kurita.
The sender, Elizabeth Klein, who identifies herself in the email as legal assistant and campaign treasurer to Tim Barnes, the Democratic nominee in state Senate District 22, writes in a very unfavorable tone towards the seven GOP Senators for their show of solidarity with Kurita.
[Senator Rosalind Kurita] has lied, cheated, threatened, manipulated and forced her way through her political career with unbelievable gall and arrogance—she has no known morals or ethical boundaries regarding her treatment of people—and she has, seemingly, gone out of her way to slander and degrade the good name of her opponent when she didn’t accomplish her goal of winning by whatever means necessary, however illegal.
So, in America we don’t steal an election, huh? Well Rosalind Kurita should know—she certainly tried to do it herself and because of her illegal actions was unsuccessful.
I am Elisabeth D. Klein. I have been legal assistant to Tim Barnes for the past seven years. I am also his political treasurer. And I am a Republican.
And indeed, she is a Republican. According to records obtained from the Montgomery County Election Commission, Tim Barnes legal assistant for seven years, Elizabeth D. Klein, voted in no fewer than four Republican primaries dating back to the year 2000. Her first venture into the Democratic primary since that time was this August.
A bona fide Republican, if you will.
Of course, the main argument that her boss, Tim Barnes, made in contesting Rosalind Kurita’s win in the August 7th primary was that there was a coordinated effort to get Republicans to vote in the Democratic primary.
As evidence of the GOP’s success in this conspiracy, numbers were distributed by the Barnes campaign to show that folks normally voting in Republican primaries voted in August in the 22nd state Senate District primary in what they saw as extraordinary numbers.
The assumption was that these historically Republican voters who chose to vote in a Democratic Party primary this year were doing so to vote for Kurita as part of a coordinated effort by Republicans. An unprovable assumption, of course, but one that was accepted at face value.
It now seems that at least one of those “Republican” statistics was, in fact, a vote for Tim Barnes.
When reached for comment, Klein did not see any inconsistency in the arguments Barnes made in contesting his primary defeat and her own voting history.
“It’s not that we didn’t want Republicans voting in the primary,” explained Klein. “We just didn’t want, and state law is against, the Republican Party interfering actively in the primary, telling people who to vote for. We wanted people to vote their conscience.”
Tim Barnes in speaking with Post Politics echoed the words of his campaign treasurer.
“The amount of Republican participation in the primary was really more of a supporting argument based on the concerted effort by party leaders,” stated Barnes.
“I don’t have a problem with individuals switching primaries based on their personal choices, personal reasons. I certainly had Republican friends voting for me,” Barnes explained. “At issue here was the concerted effort by party leaders, not the choice of individual voters.”
So You’re Open To Voting For Ramsey Or Are You Just Flappin’ Your Gums?
Posted on September 22, 2008 at 6:50 am12th District state Senate candidate Becky Ruppe sounds off with some very Kuritaesque rhetoric on partisanship in Nashville:
Further, Ruppe faults Yager for being an “extreme partisan,” while depicting herself as bipartisan. Some fellow Democrats are annoyed to learn that she has voted in Republican primaries, Ruppe says.
She professes some annoyance of her own over “all this hoopla” over partisan control of the state Senate, which now has 16 Republicans, 16 Democrats and one Independent.
The outcome of the 12th District Senate contest between Ruppe and Yager could well decide which party controls the Senate next year. The district covers Campbell, Fentress, Morgan, Rhea, Roane and Scott counties and is represented by Sen. Tommy Kilby, D-Wartburg, who did not seek re-election.
“I have the ability to go to Nashville and sit down with people, no matter what party they’re in, and make things happen for our district,” she says.

Write-in Ros: It’s On, Son
Posted on September 15, 2008 at 12:10 pm
Post Politics has confirmed that Senator Rosalind Kurita has indeed filed, in each county of the 22nd State Senate district, a certificate of write-in candidacy. Senator Rosalind Kurita will be an official write-in candidate for reelection to the seat she now holds.
Her name will not be on the ballot but any registered voter in the district will be able to cast their vote to keep Rosalind Kurita in the Tennessee state Senate regardless of what a tri-county convention, tasked by the Tennessee Democratic Party Executive committee to resolve “incurable uncertainties” in the election, decides.
When asked by Post Politics why she took this unusual step, Senator Rosalind Kurita responded, “I think it’s obvious why this step was necessary. This is America. You don’t just let someone steal an election.”
Kurita credits supporters with helping her recognize what she needed to do.
“I received so many calls and messages of support since Saturday, it has really been overwhelming,” Kurita explains. “So many people I know have called and told me, ‘You’re a fighter, Rosalind, fight this.’ So that’s what I’m doing.”
