active campaigning anyone?

I spent the day today following bob around town.

I started with a listen to Howard Gentry's radio show this morning. Bob did well. Karl did well. Kind of what I expected...

I have two questions though...

1) When did Nashville Become a Baseball Town?

2) When did Nashville Become a Hockey Town?

We have a football stadium that is packed every Sunday... why are we sooooo Focused on the sounds and the preds? both seem to be long failing business ventures. Hell, the Preds have been one of the top ranked NHL teams for the past 5 years; But they can't sell out a home season. This should be a sign of the lack of viability of Hockey in this town. Same thing goes for the Sounds.

Now as a Born Nashvillian the sounds do have a special place in my heart; and one day I want to take my year and a half old son to a few baseball games (and hockey too!). But I don't want to pay for the option to have these sports at the expense of his schooling.


Then we went to the Scottsboro Community Club; Where Good Food, Good Folks, and Good Music all came together to support their community (and for the most part supporting Bob as well). Karl Dean was no where to be found.


Lastly was a visit to LP Field for the TSU tailgating. After an hour of sitting in a fairly empty parking lot; we parted ways. It was definitely a productive day; Bob Seemed to be busy schmoozing with voters...

So heres the point of the title of this Blog post Does Karl Dean know what he's Doing? Is he actively campaigning for real Nashvillians votes? What Political Strategy is he using; "buy the race" or "Let it rest in hopes of not losing votes"?

or is he sitting around waiting for Bob to accept his Debate Challenge?

think about it for a minute...



The window is well shaded at least...
