The next Governor of Tennessee...

...will not be Bill Frist.

He announced today he's NOT running.

Potential GOP candidates are: Knoxville Mayor Bill Haslam, Lt. Governor Ron Ramsey, Congressman Zach Wamp, and Shelby County Attorney Bill Gibbons.

Democrats include: Former House Majority Leader Kim McMillan, Congressman Lincoln Davis, former Congressman Harold Ford, Jr., former Nashville Mayor Bill Purcell, Senate Democratic Leader Jim Kyle, Senate Democratic Caucus Chair Roy Herron and possibly Mike McWherter, son of former Governor Ned Ray McWherter

Only McMillan has an exploratory committee at this point. And of course, a couple other names could surface (or drop) on either side.

The race is wide open!
