I'd bet on Haslam, primary and general, by a large margin in both

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 

Haslam's got the cash compared to the other candidates, several million bucks in the war chest, the somewhat bizarre method of picking Lt Gov in your state seems to have stamped a bad image on Ramsey I gather, and Wamp apparently wants to secede form the Union or something, so odds favor Haslam versus McWherter and Haslam for the win. McWherter, who would easily pass for a republican in many states, doesn't appear to have the cash or charisma to win unless Haslam produces a tax scandal or something, he's lagging brutally far down in the polls against all three, so ironically his best bet would probably be a mass defection of Dems in the primary to vote the nutjob. Though odds are that would backfire and the loon would get elected

The intuitive mind is a sacred gift and the rational mind is a faithful servant. We have created a society that honors the servant and has forgotten the gift.

McWherter's dad was a popular governor in the late 80s and early 90s

If South Carolinans can nominate who they did for the Democratic race, why not Tennesseans?
