I talked to Lani Lester and Mike Lollar about a week and a half ago about this, and they have done well by me, I think. Newscoma was sweet enough to mention this in her blog this morning (and R. Neal at TennViews as well), and I thank you all.
UPDATE: This is apparently happening in East Tennessee as well, as Michael Silence interviews the aforementioned Mr. Neal in today's Knoxville News-Sentinel; congratulations!

You are incredible!
YOU DA MAN! I was glad to see you represented in the local lineup. Shame that others weren't included and Thad the trash collector was!
Way to go Steve!
Curmudgeon-in-training: well, as I've known for 25 years, that fits you more or less quite well. You're doing a good work there, advancing the causes you believe are important. Part of that advancement, speaking for myself anyway, is to relentlessly ask questions about one's guiding assumptions, methodology and potential consequences if what one believes actually comes into being. Through that sort of self-critical analysis--which means avoiding statements such as "liberalism is always tolerant" or "conservatism is morally superior"--makes democratic exchange and genuine relationship all the more possible. Even those we oppose are still human after all.
Proud you made the big time. CRACKER FOR MAYOR!!!!!!!!!!!!
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Congrats!
And I like Carolinablue's suggestion of Cracker for Mayor!
Count on me headed over there to help if that happens.
If the Mayoral campaign is about to start, we need to buy the Cracker a suit. Maybe from--ahem--"Cracker Barrel." Help the TN economy that way too.
I think you'd do a great job Steve, however, guys might want to rethink using the phrase "Cracker for Mayor".
.....I don't think it's a winner here. hehe.
Maybe we can say "The Cracker will fix the 'Barrel' of a mess in Memphis?" Promise everyone in town a plate ful of biscuits and gravy? Or a side of bacon, which he can "bring home" for everyone? Metaphorically "fry" all the chickens who have cackled while Memphis metaphorically burned? Does the next Mayor of Memphis--no "bluffing" either--care to offer some Delphic perspective on these or other ontological matters of galactic importance? We anxiously await your response...
