How To Make Friends And Influence People

Posted by newscoma | Posted in Tennessee | Posted on 24-11-2007

Oh, Coach and former Sen. Don Mcleary. How I question your brain cells? Yeah, it’s official. He was campaigning on Black Friday in Jackson, where he will be seeking the Madison County Mayor’s slot.

I want to be the people’s mayor,” McLeary said.

Yeah, but your competition is the guy that helped you switch parties.

Harris responded in a telephone interview that he had been “a very big supporter and contributor” to McLeary’s campaign last year. McLeary had been a Democrat but switched to the Republican party during his re-election bid to the District 27 state senate seat.

He lost the election to Jackson attorney Lowe Finney, a Democrat.

He’ll start his campaign bang-shang-lang next month:

McLeary said he and his family will begin campaigning Monday with a 60- to 70-stop tour of Madison County. Harris said Lt. Gov. Ron Ramsey will headline his Christmas campaign kickoff event at 5 p.m. Dec. 11 at the Old English Inn.

Current Madison County Mayor Jimmy Harris must be growling mad.

Mr. Mcleary, you aren’t going to have a friend of the world by the end of 2008 if you keep this up.

I told you this would continue.

    I thought The Rock was the People’s Mayor?

    Heh. You make me laugh.
    The Rock is our president. And, well, he’s The Rock.
    And he was good when we was, yet wasn’t, Buford Pussar, although my street cred just went down. :)

    Coach Mcleary , seem`s to have liked the gravy that slopped down on him while he was State Senator. Evidentily, he wants some more. I think the people of madison county have his number….and will say NO to MCleary ! I would, If I could vote there.

    Coma I dont understand this either. I heard back in June that he was interested in being appointed to this job by the GOP county commission but he backed away at the last minute. He’s pretty strange. I wonder if Mayor Harris will drag out those sexual harassment rumors from UTM against Don?

    That’s a good question. And he is one odd bird.
