Cammack About To Get Chipped
It looks like Jeff Woods and his famous "political insiders" are setting their sights on Ward Cammack, the Republican turned Democrat running for Governor, in an effort to pave the way for Mike McWherter's nomination.
Pith's smug anonymous insiders just won't shut up about Ward Cammack. When last we heard from our hero, you will recall, he was denying reports---well, one report anyway--that his campaign is dragging ass. Now, here's the latest: When Cammack has made fund-raising calls, several prominent Nashville Democrats have told him that they could not support him as long as he belongs to the Belle Meade Country Club. You didn't know he's a member? Well, now you do.
Cammack responded by saying that he's not going to drop his membership to the club. I say kudos to him. First off, if it was wrong to join the club 5 years ago, it'd still be wrong even if he now dropped his membership. Second, Woods' consternation over a painting of Robert E. Lee might raise my hackles more if it weren't for the fact that sitting outside the State House Chambers is a bust of the murderous scoundrel Nathan Bedford Forrest.

Sean, man, come on. Cammack said he wouldn't quit a "lily-white" country club because he wanted to make sure African Americans have jobs. No one is after him. He's killing himself. You are giving way too much credit to his fledgling, and now dead, candidacy.
What Country Clubs in the South aren't "lily-white"? Its like knocking someone for being on an all white hockey team.
Dude, Belle Meade Country Club is so bad that Bill Fucking Frist quit when he ran the first time. (Thanks to TennRod for that info.)
Judge Sotomayor quit her all-female club, which is alright in my book, due to Republican criticism, but Cammack tells us he won't quit because black folks need jobs as waiters. That is fucked up.
Seriously, Sean, Cammack was sounding good to me, but he's gone now. Over. Fini. Nothing personal. He's out of touch.
