Post Politics has an exclusive sitdown with Knoxville Mayor Bill Haslam at Saturday's Davidson GOP picnic.
Haslam sure makes noise like he's running for Governor -- unless it would involve challenging Bill Frist in a primary. Read the whole thing here.
In a related item, Bill Frist won the Davidson GOP straw poll, racking up 59% v. Bill Haslam's 5%. Marsha Blackburn came in second with 25%. Zack Wamp scored a big fat zero.
