Endorsements East and West (updated)
Early voting for the August 7 election started yesterday, and will continue through August 2. Some bloggers have begun posting their endorsements for the federal and state primaries, as well as--and this is perhaps where you should pay most attention, should you live in the vicinity--for county elections.
David Oatney is a respected conservative voice in the greater Knoxville area. Here is a sampling of his ballot choices:
United States House of Representatives-First District:David Davis (R)
Tennessee House of Representatives-17th District:
Frank Niceley (R)
Tennessee House of Representatives-18th District:
Stacey Campfield (R)
"Wintermute" writes The Daily Docket and focuses on the Memphis region. I've never fully figured out his politics (which I usually consider a good thing), but he does have a Barr '08 button on his blog. Wintermute's West Tennessee picks include:
UNITED STATES SENATE:WM MIKE PADGETT DEMOCRAT
UNITED STATES HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES DISTRICT 7:
TOM LEATHERWOOD REPUBLICAN
TENNESSEE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES DISTRICT 98:
BORIS J. COMBEST DEMOCRAT
ASSESSOR OF PROPERTY:
BILL GIANNINI REPUBLICAN
TRUSTEE:
PAUL MATTILA DEMOCRAT
GENERAL SESSION COURT CLERK:
CHRIS TURNER REPUBLICAN
Be sure to visit both blogs and read the rest. I'll post more blogger endorsements as I come across them.
UPDATE 1: R. Neal has the KnoxViews picks.
TN Senate 14th District: Steve Roller (D) TN Senate 16th District: Jean Anne Rogers (D) TN Senate 22nd District: Rosalind Kurita (D) U.S. Senate: Bob Tuke
