So the TNGOP has decided to take a pass on having the traditional unity rallies:

"Republicans are united heading into the November election," he said in an email. "From time to time, we have held unity events, but did not find it necessary this year."

Not sure they got the message down in the Third:

Fleischmann sent out a release Friday in which he thanked two of his three challengers -- even giving a shout-out to dairy mogul Scottie Mayfield's ice cream -- but didn't mention Weston Wamp, his other challenger and son of the 3rd district's former representative.

"I want to thank Scottie Mayfield and Ron Bhalla for their calls of congratulations; both are fine men," said Fleischmann in a statement. "One of my biggest weaknesses is my love of Mayfield ice cream, and I look forward to sitting down with Scottie - hopefully over some milk or ice cream - and talking about the conservative principles and solutions we both believe in."
