Ask the people of Kingston, TN what they think of "today's clean coal technology"
First, there's no "clean" way to get coal out of the ground.
Second, the storage of coal waste, as we've seen here in TN, is anything but clean.
Sorry, clean coal advocates (read: BIG COAL) there's no such thing as clean coal.
And your giant ad budget can't change that.

And Now, Ward Cammack
..announces he may be a Democratic candidate for Governor via Nashvillepost.com
Cammack apparently has a strong track record in the business world and will use that as the basis for his run.
He also seems to have lots of personal cash he's willing to use on the race.
I would remind Mr. Cammack and others who think that big money is the key to the game: Yes, money gets you to the table, but you need organization to win. In February of 2007, Barack Obama was a curiousity. Someone young, interesting, and without much money running against the establishment of the Democratic Party. He was 20 points down in DECEMBER before winning on Caucus Day in Iowa.
He did it by raising money and building organization. The two go hand-in-hand.
Just ask Phil Bredesen about his experience in the 1994 Governor's race.
Also, I wonder if Doug Horne is inviting Cammack to his "unity" meeting next week?

TN Democrats to Unite?
at least that's what Knoxville businessman and former TN Democratic Party Chair Doug Horne says
Of course, Horne is hoping Democrats unite around his candidacy.
It's interesting to note that the article mentions that Horne has invited several potential candidates to the meeting (Lincoln Davis, Andy Berke, Harold Ford, Jr.) -- but NOT former House Majority Leader Kim McMillan. McMillan actually has an exploratory committee and has raised some money.
Also interesting is that the rationale for Horne's candidacy seems to be that he has a lot of money to use on the race.
