It is a good goal - indeed, the job feels like a calling to me - and I look forward to applying my education, my journalism, media-relations and new-media experience; and my political knowledge and involvement on behalf of that goal. I start on Oct. 29.

Welcome Aboard! Congratulations. Posted by: Debra Maggart at September 1, 2007 12:28 PMCongratulations! This IS good news. And I'm looking forward to that vigorous pace. Posted by: Kay Brooks at September 1, 2007 1:01 PMCongratulations on your new job ! Posted by: D.J. Jones at September 1, 2007 1:24 PMCongratulations and good luck. Posted by: M. Wright at September 1, 2007 2:42 PMCongratulations, Bill! Will you still be blogging here? Sure hope so! Posted by: Webutante at September 1, 2007 9:52 PMI posted about it shortly after I got the email. I am so thrilled for you. I told you over a year ago I knew something bigger and better was around the corner for you, and here it is. Congratulations! Posted by: Sharon Cobb at September 2, 2007 2:33 AMCongratulations Bill and good luck. Posted by: Glen Dean at September 2, 2007 8:54 AMWow, that's great news, congratulations! Posted by: Ivy at September 2, 2007 10:19 AMBill, Congratulations! Way to go, Bill! I was a Republican office-holder in New York before moving to Tennessee, and I was down - very, very down - on the GOP. I am much happier with the Tennessee political landscape, and with the state's GOP. This is another reason to think positively of the GOP in TN. PS: Go Vandy! Posted by: Paul at September 2, 2007 10:31 AMTalk some sense into those people. They are so divorced from the voters that they think we want them acting like Democrats when they get into office. *ahem* CONGRATULATIONS on your new position! I may be following along those same types of lines soon, here in Illinois. Or I may end up doing something else. As of the moment, though, I have so much to catch up on, academically and otherwise. Best of luck! Posted by: Aakash at September 2, 2007 4:49 PMCongratulations! I look forward to working with you. Posted by: Scott at September 2, 2007 6:13 PMCongratulations! Good luck with the new job. You are a great writer and have definitely earned this position. The Tennessee Republican Party is lucky to have you. So can you continue blogging? Posted by: Ron at September 2, 2007 9:36 PMCongratulations, Bill. They made a smart move in choosing you. I know your job won't be policy, but try to talk some sense into them anyway. You know the kind of sense I mean. TRP, listen to your legislators who really know their constituents, especially the average, workaday Tennesseans. Steady as she goes. I just got of the hospital tonight, and I don't think I will need any pain medicine. This is good enough tonight. You deserve it, Bill. (And thank you, Maury Regional Hospital, for taking good care of me! My opposition will be disappointed to learn that I won't be dying anytime soon, that I know of.) Posted by: Donna Locke at September 2, 2007 9:53 PMGREAT News to Me... Great news. Do you think you could drop a mention in the ear of any GOP/conservatives with deep pockets that it might be a good idea to start a 527 to try to get around the massive MSM news blockade? If 60% of voters still get their news from the MSM and the MSM is producing all propaganda all the time, how does the GOP intend to compete? If your new bosses think that a few campaign commercials can counteract the massive MSM propaganda campaign of the last 7 years (or 4 decades), you will be wasting your time. Why won't they learn the lessons of the 2004 campaign?! Of course, it would help if they would first understand what really happened in 2004. Posted by: stan at September 3, 2007 3:16 PMI really am happy for you, and do congratulate you, but.... A bunch of dopes with an articulate, intelligent and forceful spokesman is still a bunch of dopes. I cringe to think what you're going to be called on to defend, explain and advocate. Posted by: mike hollihan at September 3, 2007 11:10 PMTheir gain... you are certainly the right guy for the job. Michelle Obama is not off limits!!! Keep up the good work!!!
