Political Capital

Our Governor speaks on selling wine in grocery stores:

I don’t consider it a big issue in the sense of I can’t see any problem with any wine in grocery stores. When Andrea and I travel somewhere on vacation, if we want to go into a grocery store and buy wine, in most places you can.

I’ve never considered it such a fundamental issue that I wanted to use political capital, and, ya know, go through all of the problems that it would take to get it done.

But I certainly have no objection to it. I think it’s probably a good thing. It just would not be up in my top 20 priority list to try to use time and energy to get it done.

With all due respect, perhaps if you'd pass legislation that would benefit Tennessee consumers and potentially increase revenue in state coffers, you might actually build "political capital" which could then be used to build underground entertainment halls.
