Great job by Robin Wilhoit and Bill Williams tonight with the 7-8 p.m. show on Term Limits Turmoil. Makes you wonder why real campaigns aren't conducted like this.

Eager to hear from Mark Harmon on his forum at Whittle Springs. -- s.

Moore is an idiot. I think it is sad for Knox County that he is the commission chairman. Is he the best this commission has to offer?

Why not every election?

As I watched the WBIR program tonight (look at Say Uncle Tuesday for excerpts) I am amazed that at least one of the Television stations does not do this every election.

I can think of nothing more difficult than to give a 30 second appeal to the public on Television. You got a chance to see how these people responded under pressure and how they carry themselves.

This is an idea that needs to be considered in 2008. Of course by then most candidates will have a vblog on YouTube on their campaign website.

Hallerin Hill asks a pretty far out question about the Sheriff that surprised me. I was also surprised to learn that over 50 lawsuits had been filed against the Sheriff by Herb and only 2 cases went against the Sheriff. That seems to be harassment.

You can see a YouTube repeat of the WBIR Term Limits Turmoil program here.

WBIR will soon make "Inside Tennessee" and other public service programming like last nights "Term Limits Turmoil" available on their website.

That's excellent. They are kinda behind WATE on that front. I know people have been bugging them about it.

But in a positive way...
