Not sure if anyone's picked up on this yet, but there appears to be an anti-Monty Lankford website up and running. Lankford, who is running in the GOP primary to go up against Lincoln Davis in the 4th district, is being attacked for his connection to "liberals" (how you can consider John Tanner a liberal is beyond me), his expensive home, and his tax liens. Monty says that his heart is in the 4th district,...

Our options for a Democratic candidate for Governor just got a wee bit smaller after Bill Purcell announced he'd become Director of Harvard's Institute of Politics. That leaves Kim McMillan and Lincoln Davis as the two most likely contenders for the nomination, with an outside chance of Harold Ford Jr. (and a really outside chance of Tim McGraw) stepping in. If it does remain McMillan and Davis, there...
Guess there are some bitter white people in the 4th district... [Lincoln] Davis, who served as honorary chairman of Ford’s 2006 campaign, declined in a brief interview in Nashville Monday to directly comment on the Frasier-Ford flap. Both Davis and Ford have indicated an interest in running for governor in 2010.“God Bless Harold Ford Jr. Bless his little heart ,” he said in response to questions, adding...
Over at Daily Kos, there is an interesting piece on some remarks made by a guy named Fred Hobbs, a state Democratic Party Executive Committee member in part of Tennessee Congressman Lincoln Davis’ district. He said this when discussing why the congressman is not endorsing Barack Obama: “Maybe [it’s] the same reason I don’t want to [...]
You may place this in the you've got to freakin' be kidding me pile. From Tennessee : Fred Hobbs, a state Democratic Party Executive Committee member representing part of Davis’ district, said he understands why [Tennessee Congressman Lincoln] Davis is not endorsing Obama and is "skeptical" of the Illinois senator himself.

Tennessee Democratic Party Executive Committee member Fred Hobbs and Democratic superdelegate Lincoln Davis hash it out. FOX News reported: (56 seconds) Don't worry-- It's just a mild distraction.

I may just make this a regular feature. Today's Idiot: Tennessee Democratic Party Executive Committee member Fred Hobbs, for this remark about why he thinks Democratic Rep. Lincoln Davis has not yet endorsed Barack Obama: “Maybe [it’s] the same reason I don’t want to — I don’t exactly approve of a lot of the things he stands for and I’m not sure we know enough about him,” ...He’s got some bad connections,...
If you want to know why Barack Obama won't carry Tennessee, take it from a Democratic superdelegate : The rise of Sen. Barack Obama, to become the Democrats’ presidential nominee has put most of his party’s faithful on his bandwagon — but not Lincoln Davis, a rural Tennessee Congressman with gubernatorial ambitions. Fred Hobbs, a state Democratic Party Executive Committee member representing part of...
It appears that Lincoln Davis, whose Chief of Staff is leaning towards thinking Obama isn't connected to terrorists, may have some Obama heat whether he likes it or not... Of course, that was back when all the Democrats liked Obama because he would help raise money and boost turnout, without having their power challenged.
Beecher Fraizer, Chief of Staff to Lincoln Davis, is quite generous in his defense of Barack Obama after Fred Hobbs (probably related to Bill Hobbs) said, "[Obama's] got some bad connections, and he may be terrorist connected for all I can tell. It sounds kind of like he may be.” Frazier responded to the City Paper saying "he doesn’t know for sure if Obama is 'terrorist connected' but he assumes he’s...
