UPDATE: Even Later
It’s mostly official now. A Democrat is running against Lamar in the General election. I can’t remember who it is. Does it matter? It’s the Bob guy, I think. You know, the one who got 64 votes in Hawkins County. They must’ve liked him elsewhere, I guess.
In other news: No pink slips for the kin: Marsha Blackburn won. Well, there’s the business of the general election but… eh.
Johnson City Mayor Phil Roe has defeated his opponent incumbent U.S. Rep. David Davis, R-Tenn. Roe received 25,918 votes or 50.4% according to unofficial results. Davis received 25,458 votes or 49.6 percent of the ballots cast. Roe will face Democrat Rob Russell, who grabbed 4091 votes (63%) in the Democratic Primary.
Oh and finally…
Dear Nikki Tinker, God don’t like ugly. Voters don’t either. Now you know. Best wishes.

Angie, let me say first of all I enjoy reading all your comments. You are a very gifted person.
As campaign chair for David Davis in Hawkins Co, I feel I know David well, he is a hard working, smart, kind, Christian man and I am proud to call him my friend.With that said, Dr Roe has won this race.I will hold my tongue and not comment on the attacks that were waged against Congressman Davis. I will just remind Dr Roe that what gos round comes round. I hope for the good, of the honest hard working folks of the first dist, that Roe will represent us as well as Congressman Davis has.We will be watching!
I read you blog most everyday.Keep up the good work, an don’t be to rough on Faulk he is a good guy an would make a fine senator for the 4th.
