Via Kleinheider, GOP activist Rob Huddleston summarizes yesterday’s events from his close-up perspective. He also offers a good survey of the problems and their potential solutions in Tennessee politics from a Republican perspective. Like A.C. says, it’s worth the whole read, and it’s especially illuminating for those of our readers who aren’t too familiar with TN politics. From VOLuntarilyConservative:
Tennessee has a problem. At a time when leadership and legislative responses will be crucial due to a global economy that is in crisis, I expect very little worthwhile legislation to pass out of the House over the next two years. Forget Williams’ inability to lead for a minute. The problem here is that Naifeh, Odom, and Williams have raised the stakes of partisanship to a level we are unaccustomed to seeing out of Nashville. It is unrealistic for people to say, “Well, you lied, deceived, and embarrassed us at a crucial moment in the history of the state, but let’s see how we can work together in a trusting relationship to move the state forward.” That action lies outside of the norms of human nature; perhaps people in mental institutions or a man that believes he was fairly elected U.S. Senator from Minnesota would believe it.
