The Chip Factor

“If you feel rejected, Frankie, it’s because I do. I reject you.”

~ Kathleen Flannery in State of Grace (1990)

Jeff Woods’ sources tell him that Rep. Lincoln Davis likely would have begged off a governor’s race regardless of who the state party elected but when the part did elect Chip Forrester, Davis decided to send a message:

“At Saturday’s meeting, the talk was going around that if Chip won, Lincoln was out. Suddenly, boom, the announcement comes this week. The timing of it really got my attention. It feels like a ‘fu[dge] you Chip Forrester’ to me. It has that feel. Lincoln was probably not going to run anyway, but Chip’s election sealed the deal.”

Done.

The entire Tennessee Congressional delegation today called for action to ensure that Tennessee students and parents have access to loans to help pay for college in the coming year. Every single member of the TN Congressional District joined a letter to Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson and Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke asking them to take action to help restore stability in the federal student loan marketplace and ensure continued access to student loans.
