Tennessee gubernatorial race - final days

The primaries are over. There are several independant candidates out there, but history has shown they are just not going to be real players. That means the only real choice one has is to go with either Haslam or McWherter.

So, between the two, who do you choose?

Last January, the big Tennessee newspapers, including the News-Sentinel of Knoxville, ran a piece titled, Candidates on the Issues - Guns. I followed up with my analysis of their report HERE. The scores could range from +12 to -12.

Haslam lost points because of his stance on guns in parks, and scored +6.

McWherter scored -12. His views appear to reflect the typical Democratic big brother elitist attitude of Leftist politicians. He doesn't appear to trust the average Joe with the ability to make sound judgement. His answers make me think he would take the veto pen to pro gun rights legislation.

Go study the two links, then make your choice.

I am going with Haslam.

Tennessee 7th Senatorial District - - Campfield or Walker?

With five weeks left until the election, it is time for Knoxville citizens to revisit these candidates' response to the Gun Rights Quiz. Stacey Campfield and Randy Walker are running for the 7th Tennessee Senate seat.

Their responses to the Gun Rights Quiz are listed for Campfield HERE, and for Walker HERE. You can click the links to see their responses.

Here is my brief analysis --

Campfield believes there is only one reasonable gun law, the Second Amendment. Walker was not specific, he simply restated his support for the right to keep and bear arms (makes me think of John Kerry).

When asked about Vermont style carry, meaning carrying with no permit required (Now legal in Vermont, Alaska, and Arizona), Campfield is agreeable. Walker said,

I am unfamiliar with the laws in the State of Vermont, but I do support Tennessee’s gun laws.

Walker was rather vague with all his answers, repeatedly stating his support for the constitutional right to keep and bear arms. Campfield, on the other hand, has a voting record that shows a strong pattern of support for the individual right of self protection.

Campfield, also, has consistently shown his concern for the unborn citizen, through proposed legislation, and his voting record.

So, I recommend Campfield.

Conservative obituary

The late Donald Unsworth of Rome, GA, appears to have been quite conservative. His obituary includes this request from his family:

The family respectfully asked in lieu of flowers that memorial contributions be made to the American Cancer Society or to the campaign of whoever is running against President Barack Obama in 2012.
