Wamp on Haslam: "We've Reconciled"

In his first major interview since losing the Republican nomination for Governor last month, Zach Wamp tells 6 News he and Bill Haslam have gotten together and "reconciled."

"Bill Haslam needs to be Tennessee's next governor," said Wamp.

Wamp is leaving his seat in the United States Congress after serving for 16 years.

He said he's now weighing his options regarding his future. One thing he says he'll definitely do is write a book.

Sensing a major Republican electoral victory this fall,  Wamp says the GOP needs to remember history.

 "I want to warn fellow conservatives not to make the mistakes we made after the 1994 elections," he said.

Wamp along with many Republicans roared into office in 1994 under the "Contract with America" banner.  Wamp says they had the mandate, but made too many mistakes.

Wamp's entire interview can be seen this weekend on Tennessee This Week.
