Tennessee's Governor angling for spot on Democrat ticket
Well, I think that Governor Phil Bredesen is looking to slide into a VP slot with whichever candidate the Dems nominate. He's pushing a proposal for Democrat Superdelegates to convene in advance of the convention, in order to sort the whole mess out.
He's featured in an Op-Ed in today's New York Times.
Honestly, Gov. Phil is a pretty appealing candidate to add to a Democratic ticket. He comes across as much more moderate than I think either Hillary or Obama do. He's a yankee by birth, but the governor of a southern state.
That seems like a pretty good idea he proposed.

All they need is for the room of superdelegates to be smoke-filled.

Well, the smoke-filled room certainly couldn't be in Tennessee, as we have a smoking ban in place now. Thanks, Gov!
And, for the Democrats, I think it is a very wise idea. The party really needs to resolve the issue of who the candidate is pre-convention. While it might make for some excellent political theatre, it's probably detrimental to their electoral success in November.
Not that I care, really.
