The Wamp Campaign wasting no time responding to release of an internal poll commissioned for Bill Haslam.

The survey - conducted June 1 - 3 - shows the Knoxville Mayor with a comfortable lead over his Republican rivals, Zach Wamp and Ron Ramsey.

“Despite going on TV four months ago and spending millions of dollars, Bill Haslam has only managed to rent the attention of some voters but can’t close the sale," said Sam Edelen, Wamp campaign spokesman.

In an email to 6 News, Edelen continued, "Zach Wamp is right on Haslam’s heels and closing rapidly every day in what has become a two man race between a strong and tested red-blooded conservative in Zach and a blue-blooded moderate like Haslam."

"Zach’s TV campaign is now going strong in every part of the state, and we’re right where we hoped to be. We have faith that the people of Tennessee want Zach Wamp as their next Governor."
