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?
