Wamp, there it is
Looks like the Tennessee Gubernatorial race is getting underway with the two contenders on the Republican side looking to be Zach Wamp and Knoxville Mayor Bill Haslam. AC doesn’t see Wamp getting too far because of money. You’ll recall that Knoxville Mayor Bill Haslam is a member of the Joyce Foundation funded, anti-gun group Mayors Against Illegal Guns, headed up by Bloomberg.
His membership in an anti-gun group will play a part in his run for governor, assuming the local press decides to cover it. To my knowledge, they have not.

It would be more useful to derail his campaign when it’s a little farther along. But, you can’t count on the press to cover the issue. However, if there are gun issues coming up in the state, or even outdoor issues that can be related to guns, this is prime opportunity for an op-ed in a big paper or several in smaller regional papers by a local gun group.

The gun thing concerns me about Haslam, but not half as much as Haslam’s tie to big oil and big money. Seems to me that during these economic times, we don’t need someone who’s tied to oil companies and someone who could drop a million dollars on the sidewalk and not miss it.
