A Pitbull in Lipstick...

Wow. If I didn't have a little bit of class I would be using terms that start with B to describe this lady, but I'll stick to the high ground.

So with McCain/Palin we can look forward to Palin being McCain's attack dog. No wonder she made the pitbull comment.

I can't wait for her to debate Biden. He's highly capable of serving her her first born with little effort.

Being that he has already said he will not hold any punches in the debate, we can expect it to be a good one.

Someone should tell this lady you get more flies with honey than you do vinegar...

Comin' out guns a blazin!

Well, for the past two days I have been accused of running a covert attack campaign on behalf of my family against Bob Tuke. Since the accusations should be warranted, I figured the least I could do is make it a point to prove why Bob Tuke is not a viable candidate, and why he should NOT be elected to the U.S. Senate.

Dependent on how much the foolish bigger blogs run with it, the further I'll go...

Lets start off small. Here are the facts:

1)Tuke cannot compete with Lamar Monetarily. From Tuke's own campaign page. "Lamar Alexander? Well, he's taken over $360,000 from PACs and executives from Big Oil." Further down " we need to raise $10,000 in the next two weeks to help combat Lamar's Big Oil money"

While this is a tactic worth utilizing; $360,000 > $10,000... That said this tactic could work, but Bob is going to have to set his goals a little higher. Basic mathematics tells you this is one failure.

2)Inactive campaigning leads to loses. No news since August 19th. In a political campaign against an incumbent 'no news' is always 'bad news'.

3) Lastly, Tuke has no new advertising, No new signage, and to be quite frank; no following outside of the TNDP inner circles. At least not enough of one to unseat Lamar.

Mr. Tuke might be an alright guy (though I don't think he's that great considering his short fuse...) and he may be a good option for the Senate, but he's not really interested in winning. If he was, he'd be actively campaigning, and raising all of the money he can.

Remember, I'm a Democrat, Voting for Obama/Biden. And I have zero hope in Bob Tuke. Lamar is going to mop the floor with him.

Hell, Gary Davis came damn close to doing it in the Primary.

Ha... Ha... Ha...

I PERSONALLY still think Tuke is a joke. Until his campaign pays my salary, I will continue to think he's a joke.

wow. He ran the TNDP. No offense Gray, your a very nice guy, and a good leader...

He's an adoption attorney. adoption is a good thing.. but litigating an adoption; well that's just a job.

He's a lobbyist. Unpaid, non-profit, I don't care. Lobbyist's were the first step to ruining this country, and anyone involved in politics who doesn't understand that needs a little poli-sci 101.

He utilizes his military background as a speaking point. Any true patriot will tell you military service is not a point of boisterous pride. It is a point of humble honor.
4 months in NAM at the end of the war is easily comparable to boot camp.

Bob Tuke is a joke; and he has done nothing to earn my vote.

Now that the primary is over... him calling my father and saying he was a "low life lying son of a bitch" while my father was trying to explain our press release to him, SCREAMING into the phone like a crazy person... And the Dem's fell for it. Enjoy your crazy candidate. I hope you all read this again when he starts his run for governor soon...

Run with it guys... You know you want to... (specially since good ol' Bob isn't doing anything worth covering.)

McCain/Palin???

Who the Hell is Sarah Palin?

This is a joke right? Isn't McCain supposed to be focused on getting more votes? Choosing a rookie to the sport of politics, is a bit 'loony', even if that rookie is Tom Brady... Presidential politics is not a proper level to introduce a newcomer to the game.

I really hope the 'Hillary! or McCain!' ladies don't fall for this ploy.

on speculation, I would NOT be surprised if this were a political tactic, meant to throw people off the trail of McCains real V.P. pick (rice? Powell? feel free to speculate with me!) and grab at the heart strings of already heartbroken Hillary voters by bringing in another female candidate.{on a side note... interesting the Republicans won't run a female candidate for Pres. but they will for second in command... still the "equality" party?}

Oi. this has caused my brain to hurt for more than a few days... One good thing... If the ticket stays the same... Obama is guaranteed a win!

P.s. She is kinda hot for an older lady though... Makes you wonder who McCain's NEXT mistress would be...

Better Late Than Never...

Obama/Biden 2008!

Of course I support good ol' Joe Biden as Barack's VP... Nice to see political savvy is still somewhat alive in the veins of the DNC. Biden is the perfect candidate simply for the amount of experience, and his lack of a filter (for is opinions and his mouth) is something the Democratic party has needed for the last 20 years.

This team may have some skeletons in their closet, but I believe the positives FAR outway the Negatives.

Biden and Obama are a perfect balance of the Democratic Equation.

Tuke Testing the Waters

Call it Speculation...
Call it envy...
call it what you want to call it...

But...

I believe Bob Tuke is wasting our time and hopes by running against Lamar for Senate. Just like during the Primary, he is not actively campaigning. Mr. Tuke is testing to waters to run as a replacement for Governor Bredesen.

Nice to know that Tennessee has that great of a candidate; screwing the state out of logical representation on the federal level, to see how well he would do in a race for the governor's seat.

I'm not sure if we should be thanking Mr. Tuke for this waste of a campaign, or the media outlets throughout the state for not covering a major political race.
