But I've lived 42 years without ever voting for a republican, and I just couldn't bring myself to do it.

6. kick for info

[TNDemo]

7. They listed the top five or so

and the last one listed had 1% and Basil was not listed so he must not be doing so well. Would have been interesting to say the least.

[malaise]

12. Hehehehehehehhe

Yeh he was always going nowhere in a hurry. Sure would have been fun.

[AnArmyVeteran]

13. So sad, why do the best ones always leave us :(

But on the bright side: There are millions of others just like him in the publican party. I wonder when Basil will write a book?

[jmm]

14. Now who will fight against slavery at traffic stops?

:cry:

16. Poor Basil.

[AnArmyVeteran]

18. I know, I feel so sad for him. All his dreams of making Tennessee better are now dead.

I feel sorry for all the citizens there too.

[johnaries]

17. As a TN DUer, WTF is Basil?

Yeah, oil magnate Haslim won the Rep primary. BIG surprise. :sarcasm:

I'll have to admit, as bad as he is he's not as bad as the Christo-fascists Wamp or Ramsey. But my company has had many dealings with Haslim and we know what he is all about.

I can only hope that Tennesseans remember what happened the last time we had a Repuke as Gov and how much he fucked everything up. And how much progress that a Dem Gov actually did to improve the whole situation, and how quickly he did it!

Mike McWherter's done an "ok" job so far, but he's going to need a whole lot more help than Bredesen's endorsement and riding his daddy's coat-tails.

Please, PLEASE, dear Spirits, don't let us be burdened with Haslim!
