A credible opponent will also serve to take some of the shine off of him by getting the word out about what I've been writing about for months now. This man is not governing like you think he is. (I know from observing it firsthand). Someone needs to hold his feet to the fire and only an opponent can do that.White notes that Bredesen portrays himself as a fiscal conservative (and, might I add, so does the the lap-dog friendly Tennessee capital press corps), but the state budghet was $20 billion the year before Bredesen took office and, in his fourt year in office, it will exceed $25 billion. Says White, "He's cut the budget by adding $5 billion." In a more recent post, White argues that Bredesen is arrogant, disengenuous and hates Republicans and, because of the latter, the Democratic party faithful "will love him in the Presidential primaries.

You betcha'! I swear to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. In the interest of accuracy (and because I'm not sure I've told you yet), I don't work in the House anymore. I've gotten an honest job in the private sector where I don't have to worry about getting fired for telling the truth about Bredesen. Posted by: Matthew White at January 29, 2005 12:44 AMMatthew, I don't care where you work. If you're willing to help Bill on this, it's just one more step for citizens' journalism (if you want to call it that). I prefer to think of it as independent voices crowding alongside the traditional media to allow me, a plain old citizen, make rational decisions about the people who would govern me. Thanks to you both and keep on writing about this stuff. Posted by: Mark at January 30, 2005 08:16 PMPost a comment

Matthew White, who actually works for the Tennessee state legislature and therefore sees Tennessee Gov. Phil Bredesen at work up close, has a must-read post
