Ramsey - 59

There were several hundred people attending the event, so apparently most voters are still undecided.

West Tennessee Victory 2010 Rally

Our family enjoyed attending the Victory 2010 Kick-off Rally in Hardin County today. All 5 of the Republican candidates for Governor of Tennessee (Bill Gibbons, Bill Haslam, Joe Kirkpatrick, Ron Ramsey, and Zach Wamp) spoke at the rally.

The rally was hosted by the Republican parties of Hardin, Henderson, McNairy, and Wayne counties. There was a great turnout and the building was packed!
