It was the part about him running for any sort of office that made me dismiss him as a possibility, regardless of how poor his (atrocious) grammar might have been

I do think, in all seriousness, if it ends up being Bill Haslam vs. Mike McWherter, then things will be okay in my state either way. I just wouldn't want a Ron Ramsey...or a Basil Marceaux, for that matter, being my state's governor. I just feel the two I named, regardless of their party affiliations, might continue the policies of Bredesen, who currently enjoys a ridiculously low 7% disapproval rating according to a poll that was published Sunday in The Tennessean. Tennessee doesn't have a history of having extremely partisan governors and I want that tradition to continue.

But if Basil's the man...oh man, would I laugh and laugh...and then cry at the failings of the democratic system
