Jimmy Naifeh's Got Issues
With some of the GOP's prospective candidates for the constitutional offices:
Among the issues Naifeh has with some of the Republicans seeking the posts are questions about their past political practices and experience. He said that he would like to see Justin Wilson, the former aide to Gov. Don Sundquist who is up for comptroller, answer questions about how contracts were awarded when he was in the governor's office.
Naifeh also said that Tre Hargett, who is up for secretary of state – the position that oversees the Division of Elections – should answer allegations that he removed an opponent's campaign paraphernalia from cars when he was a member of the Tennessee House of Representatives.
Perhaps most interesting, Naifeh called Ira Brody, a candidate for state treasurer, a "political hack" who has thrown money around to Republican candidates in an attempt to get the job.

I would tend to agree with
I would tend to agree with Jimmy Naifeh on the "political hack" statement. I've got inside information, though, that he's probably the furthest candidate from the Treasurer's office in that pack of individuals.
Whatever the case, next week will be interesting.

This state will be in horrible shape with these GOP slackers in office. Good luck putting a budget together with John Morgan.
We sure don't need a
We sure don't need a political hack in the SOS's office, not when we have Riley Darnell!
And, I'm also concerned about whether Mumpower's wife will be or is a lobbyist. Like Jimmy, I am also concerned with spouses having undue influence on legislation.
Yeah, Matthew, we all have
Yeah, Matthew, we all have the same "inside information." Are you shaving every day yet?

Well if you wait long
Well if you wait long enough...
Naifeh is right on Wilson. Part of the reason Republicans won in Tennessee is that the Tennessee state Democrats have the same corrupt image as the national Republicans do.
Putting Wilson in would be a grave mistake to that end.
I saw a guy who looks exactly
I saw a guy who looks exactly like Jason Mumpower cooking in a Waffle House today. Kinda bizarre. I'm sure Naifeh probably wishes that's where Jason were, and I hope it hasn't come to this.
Well... Tennessee does have a
Well... Tennessee does have a citizen legislature...

Thanks for asking, though.
