Party Chair feeling the heat.

Looks like there are more than a few souls in the legislature that aren't all that happy with Chairman Davis turning the State GOP's political machinery into a statewide platform for Bob Corker. Davis has apparently said all candidates will be represented but failed to mention this to all candidates. There is no valid reason for the State Party to get involved in a contested Senate primary. None.

The Party should help the winning candidate defeat the democrat candidate in the general election, but helping Corker by reinforcing his weak areas takes away advantages from Bryant, Hilleary and Harwell. Advantages they have gained from touring the state for years meeting people and shaking hands. Corker couldn't be bothered to help the party until he needed something himself.

So, who is putting the pressure on Bob Davis? I've got a feeling they are well represented on Corkers financial disclosure. This story has legs...

So, what do the bylaws say about replacing a sitting Chairman? Robin Smith seems like a great choice. Somebody wake up the SEC...
