Buck Dozier Endorsed... COUNCIL AT LARGE ONLY!
Thanks buck... that helps sway the vote either way!
Dozier Endorses
From Michael Cass:
Outgoing Metro councilman and former mayoral candidate Buck Dozier has endorsed Jerry Maynard for an at-large council seat.
“Jerry and I got to know one another during the most recent campaign cycle,” Dozier said in a news release. “In that time, I have grown to respect Jerry as a man of integrity and ideas, someone who is not afraid to tackle the tough challenges of improving our local schools and making our neighborhoods safer. … I believe Jerry will be a welcome addition to the Metro Council as a voice of reason and common sense.”
Dozier and Maynard had at least one campaign consultant, Mike Kopp, in common this year.

Buck can we expect a mayoral endorsement anytime soon?
Sean Still Endorses Dean... Dude you know Clement is a life long Dem right?Massachusetts Liberal
The video from the Channel 4 Debate is now available online. If you didn't get a chance to watch it, I recommend you check it out over there. One segment, which I found to be the best, was when Karl Dean turned Bob Clement's carpet-bagging question around on him:
Jeff Woods Is on the Defensive. Only not with attacks. Jedi Mind tricks abound. =P
Dean Strikes Back

It was the Karl Dean his supporters must have been waiting for. After taking it on the chin all month from Clement on taxes and crime and even for spending his wife's money, Dean finally started hitting back during last night's televised debate.
What lasts in the minds of voters from any political debate are not the policy disagreements but the well-timed one-liners (i.e., "There you go again," and "Senator, you are no John Kennedy"). And Dean got off more than a few zingers:
"I'm willing to wager that I spent more time in Nashville in the last 25 years than you have."
"I know Metro government better than anybody on this stage."
"If you can't welcome people like me—to say that somebody who's been here 25, 26, 27 years shouldn't be able to run for mayor—well then somebody needs to tell the governor."
Asked by Clement why he's "so emphatic" about telling voters that he wasn't born in Nashville, Dean replied, "The short answer is it's the truth."
Clement's most memorable line? "Yes, I know how to say yes."
I personally Liked his "I will not increase Taxes" everyone keeps making pappy Bush comparisons without realizing the difference in federal governing principles and metropolitan governing principles. It is fairly easy to avoid a property tax increase; plan and allocate your budget where it is needed the most. Waste not want not!
and lastly WTF!
Half Day Heaven
Posted by Bruce Barry (08.21.07, 11:50 AM)
The roughly 75,000 kids who attend Metro public schools may not be terribly upset by the decision to keep schools open only for half days so far this week because of the heat, but parents scrambling to juggle jobs and child care are wondering how long this will continue. MNPS insists the decision is day-to-day. While few would fault administrators for attending to the health risks of extreme heat in classrooms and buses, it is curious that school officials refuse to just come out and say directly that half days will continue as long as the heat does.
I remember some HOT ASS Days back when I was in school. I didn't get half the day off!!! Whats the deal? are our kids getting soft? or is it another sign of global warming?
