Lamar was on Fleming's show yesterday in Memphis, Fleming asked him about this. Lamar DENIED he received such a letter.

Lamar is a Has Been's Has Been. He is through forever as far as being elected to a Tennessee elected office that includes the U.S. Senate. You would think the GOP would want the best man for the job {Ed Bryant} and put political favors {jobs for friends} behind them just once.

Alexander is a RHINO, Byrant is a true conservative.

Tom Humphrey is a hubristic SOB. He is in no position to tell anyone to do anything.

>> Williams wrote that while Alexander has had "a very long and illustrious career," he has "not been on a ballot in Tennessee for 20 years." <<

When will the GOP learn to stop pushing a bunch of dull old has-beens, and look for NEW blood for the party? We're not going to hold the U.S. Senate very long if we rely on a bunch of out-of-work politicians in their 60s to take some Senate seats. The GOP already lost the chance to get two GREAT rising stars into the governors mansion: Pat O'Malley in Illinois and Bret Schundler in New Jersey. At this rate we're left with only Bill Simon in California.

C'mon, President Bush, WAKE UP! If we would have followed this policy in the Presidential election, the party would have picked Pat Buchanan as it's nominee. Instead, they went for a new guy and selected you. Can't you return the favor?

Ahhh, the GOP self destructing in TN? Just what we need

[Vis Numar]

If the lawmakers pass the constitution's 90-day limit for "legislative days," they can continue to meet, but their $114 daily allowance is shut off.

What a wonderful idea.

Kevin Phillips, spokesman for the Alexander campaign....

That name sounds very familiar (although it is likely a fairly common name). Is this the same guy who was on TV a lot about 10 - 12 years ago? Can somebody help me with this? - - my brain is really itching....

I'll admit that I'm not familiar with Tn politics, but I simply don't see Lamar Alexander as a viable candidate fir anything, anywhere.

I saw the Beltway Boys today and they had Larry Sabato on and were talkng about the Senate seats up for the Fall...they all agreed that even though the generic party preference polls showed that all 4 vacating GOP seats, Tx, NC, SC and Tn would stay in the GOP, they figured one might drop. I'll bet they were looking at a, Alexander candidacy.
