Haslam Announcement Around the Corner

Jeremy Harrell - who served as Lamar Alexander's campaign coordinator - has been hired by Knoxville Mayor Bill Haslam for what now appears inevitable - a Haslam-run for Governor.
Haslam has said for months that if Bill Frist decides not to run - he would seriously consider it.
Frist opened the door for Haslam and other Republicans this weekend with his announcement that he will not seek the Governor's seat.
Harrell says the Mayor will brief reporters tomorrow morning at Pete's Cafe in downtown Knoxville.
The setting is not by accident.
If there are questions about Haslam - it's his family connections. Can a rich guy, from a rich family really understand the needs and fears of the common person?
Pete's is casual. There are no trappings of wealth. Just the kind of place a working man or woman would visit for a meat and three.
It's exactly the image Haslam will push in his bid for the State's highest office.
