It's Official

As posted here two days ago, Beth Harwell has officially announced today that she will not be running for Governor.

I know that she was seriously considering running up until at least the end of December, but she has decided to continue her work in the state legislature.

That's unfortunate because Bredesen's wagon may have a few bumps in the road over the next several months which may end up making him vulnerable. But who knows? I guess too many Republicans like him.

On the other hand, it is fortunate because the GOP currently is down only four seats from having a majority in the House. If Harwell had decided to run for Governor, she would had to have given up her House seat. Because it is less than a year until the next election, there would have more than likely been a Democrat appointee placed in that seat (as I detailed back in November). That would make it one seat more difficult to get a GOP majority come next election.

Of course, then you'd have to deal with the GOP turncoats seeking political favors...like "Wilder's Water Boys."

Speaking of Mike Williams, I heard that he will not be voting to overturn the fraudulent election of Ophelia Ford in Memphis which means that vote is more than likely going to fail. No surprises there.

One Democrat put electoral integrity over partisanship and voted to void Ophelia's fraudulent election. Fantastic!

The sister of the crook, elected in a crooked election, is about to be kicked out of the senate. Good.
