« Trunk Show | Main | Radar Love: A Sao Tome Update » December 12, 2006State House GOP Leadership Picks
On the Senate side of things, I'm pleased beyond words that Sen. Randy McNally lost his leadership post - and also pleased that he lost it to Sen. Mark Norris. Wes Comer has all you need to know about why McNally lost. Update: ACK has more on Dunn and Jason Mumpower, who defeated him. Also, Roger Abramson weighs in. I've long thought Rep. Dunn would do well to write a regular blog on the issues and politics in the legislature - and I've told him so. Now that he's no longer going to be House Minority Leader, maybe he'll do it. You don't have to have the title to be the leader, Rep. Dunn. Posted in Tennessee Government News

Bill - "I'm not happy that Bill Dunn lost, but I'm pleased Glen Casada won." Megadittos. Cheers, Rob I was on the Hill today. The word was Ward Baker got what he wanted. I saw seven members go over to him after the vote. They all gave him a high five. After the Casada vote almost the whole caucus looked over at Ward. He is best friends with Casada. Posted by: Mark at December 12, 2006 5:30 PMWard is friends with Casada and did pull for him but stayed out of the leadership races. He didn't twist any arms. The caucus ALL owe Ward, BIG TIME. He raised almost six figures for the caucus. If he wanted he could have put pressure on people but he didn't. Ward is hard core conservative. Posted by: the Rep at December 12, 2006 7:21 PMCasada is a good choice. I have nothing against any of those who were in play. I believe that the republicans in the house need to be aggressive; however, they also need to be sure that the battles are picked wisely.
