I hope the County Mayor doesn't even dignify this rumor with a response. Other than to say it wasn't his doing. The assertion was timed perfectly by whoever is behind this whole thing. It came up at a time when Mayor Wharton was out of town. Making him unable to back up the statement with a yea or nay. Giving it an uninterrupted run on the news,radio and blogs. Somebody found out that he could run for one office while holding the other. Leaving nothing left to be loss but face. The wheels of the Herenton hater wagon began to roll. I think this is an act of desperation on the part of those who want to defeat city Mayor Willie Herenton. Since the whole thing is still just rumor at this point. I'll reserve my opinions until it's official.

Desperation
I hope the County Mayor doesn't even dignify this rumor with a response. Other than to say it wasn't his doing. The assertion was timed perfectly by whoever is behind this whole thing. It came up at a time when Mayor Wharton was out of town. Making him unable to back up the statement with a yea or nay. Giving it an uninterrupted run on the news,radio and blogs. Somebody found out that he could run for one office while holding the other. Leaving nothing left to be loss but face. The wheels of the Herenton hater wagon began to roll.

Thanks for asking Bishop. I didn't think anyone would notice. I guess I was wrong. I was going to respond to your earlier post soon as I got the chance.I was away for a while but I'm back now. I agree with everything you said. You're going to become an Independent Conservative yet. LOL
ReplyDeleteCommon you know you have been missed, you too Bishop. I am happy to see you back. So much has been in the local and national news lately and I miss reading your viewpoint.
ReplyDeleteCommon and Bishop I would very much like to hear your opinions on the brutal beating and death of Malcom Carruthers of Millington.
Thanks for the concern. I missed you guys too. Blinders Off, I'm glad you asked that question. I do have an opinion. I can't wait to see how you feel. My robbery 101 post is leading up to it.
ReplyDeleteWharton won't challenge Herenton
ReplyDeleteBut would consider Memphis campaign if friend dropped out

Shelby County Mayor A C Wharton says he's not considering a run for Memphis mayor this year -- at least not as long as incumbent Willie Herenton is on the ballot.
"I will not rule out giving consideration to running in the event that he was to decide not to run," Wharton said Tuesday in an interview with The Commercial Appeal.
But the county mayor said he's not sitting around waiting for Herenton to reverse course and decide not to run again.
"To me, it's fairly simple. I just finished an election. I've got a hell of a lot to do," said Wharton, who won his second term as county mayor in August. Because of term limits, it will also be his last term.
"I have more to do than I will ever get done in 31/2 years," he added.
Wharton, who's served twice as Herenton's campaign chairman, said he would not run against Herenton because of their longtime friendship and out of "respect for his accomplishments."
But with a growing number of candidates looking to unseat Herenton in the October election, the popular Wharton has been mentioned in political circles as someone who could actually defeat the four-term incumbent.
To that end, Wharton said people approach him every day suggesting he should run for one office or another, including city mayor.
"I've had people who have told me that I would be crazy to run, and there have been people who have said, 'You ought to run.' "
When asked specifically who may have approached him recently about running for city mayor, Wharton said he's not "a kiss and tell."
"It doesn't serve any good to get into who has talked to me," Wharton said.
So far, the field of candidates running against Herenton includes former MLGW boss Herman Morris, City Councilwoman Carol Chumney and former Shelby County commissioner John Willingham.
Local Democratic Party chairman Matt Kuhn said Tuesday it would not be Wharton's "style" to run for another office now that he's in his final term as county mayor.
But Kuhn said he would not rule out another run for public office by Wharton down the road, saying he'd be a "phenomenal statewide candidate."
"A C has the type of clout in the business community and the political community that he'd be a strong candidate for any office," Kuhn said.
"Heck, I would push him for governor next time around."
