This is nothing short of spectacular news, giving the state's Democrats a rallying figure at the top of the ticket.
Joey Garrison broke the story at the Tennnessean, referencing the Facebook page I mentioned earlier this morning. While she has much to discuss and think about, we need to be prepared to support her in this run as much as possible. We need to be there with time, money and whatever needs to be done in order to make this a successful campaign.
With a strong candidate like Sara at the top of the ticket, more candidates will be encouraged to attempt campaigns for the General Assembly and the State Senate, which are desperately needed. It will be an uphill battle, as Haslam has all the money he will need, with the Koch Brothers and ALEC standing by to give even more. This is why we have to be prepared with time, money, and organization.
More on this later, but this is terrific news!

And the Democratic Party apparatus needs to support her fully--no more fiascos like the non-support of Park Overall.
Isn't her husband the jackaxx who said it was good for the Party to not run a candidate?
One and the same. I also suspect that because it's Sara and not Jim, the response was broader and stronger. She has far more connections in this state.
