First May Fare Poorly In Home State Of TN In 2008

If Bill Frist decides to run for president in 2008, his first challenge may be convincing home-state voters in Tennessee.

By a significant margin, the voters who know him best said "no" when asked in Tuesday exit polls for The Associated Press if the retiring Senate majority leader "would make a good president."...

By a 44-37 percent margin, Tennesseans said "no" to a Frist presidency. The remaining 19 percent did not answer.

Speculation TN Gov. Phil Bredesen Might Run In 2008

The name of Tennessee Governor Phil Bredesen has been mentioned lately as a possible 2008 Democratic presidential candidate….

Could this be a hint at a 2008 bid for president? The Chief of Staff position is typically first in line to claim the spot as campaign manager in a political bid.

Since he just got re-elected and won't run again, what would be the point in hiring a position that you've done without for 4 years?

Boy oh boy, I hope its true... we need you Bredesen...

At the Tennessee Womens Political Caucus convention in Nashville this past weekend Bredesen spoke and was asked if he would run for President in 2008. He tapdanced quickly away from any real answer but my inside source says Bredesen has a campaign button (given to him as a gift) that says "Phil in 08". Since no Democrat has won the Presidency since 1932 unless he (or she) carried at least two or three southern states. Bredesen has to think about this more than he admits. I am are sure this had nothing to do with Bredesen writing an op-ed piece for the New York Times (link - login maybe required) two weeks ago urging that a national campaign about healthcare reform should be the mantra for the Democrats. The Democrats would do well to take his advice.

bredesen on '08?! and who's next?
