Submitted by Gene Patterson on June 9, 2010 - 7:08pm

Lt. Governor Ron Ramsey's campaign responds to release of Bill Haslam's internal poll that shows Haslam in a comfortable lead over Republican rivals Zach Wamp and Ron Ramsey.

Below is a statement from Ramsey Communications Director Rachel Taylor:

"Well, if yesterday's primaries have told us anything it is that polls two months out truly don't seem to matter on election day. Well, that and candidates who hail from DC tend to typically fare poorly in this political climate. It's telling that even after Haslam has spent close to $3 million dollars on this race so far, his own polling shows that 2/3 of Tennessee's primary voters have rejected him."
