McWherter urged a crowd of about 60 to elect Pettigrew to be “part of a team.” McWherter, who said he didn’t like negative campaigning, did not criticize Pettigrew’s opponent. But Naifeh didn’t hesitate.
Only 60 people attended? The Republicans can get more than that for any fundraiser, for any Republican candidate. In the past, the Dems had these type events to shield campaign contributions.
“I can go on and on. He’s not for anything but against everything,” Naifeh said.
As for Pettigrew being part of a Democratic team, Campfield said if the team is fighting against all reforms for immigration, against removing the sales tax on food and against working to control eminent domain, “I guess that’s the team she wants to stand with.”
“Jimmy Naifeh, he’s the father of the income tax. She can stand with him, too,” Campfield said
Remember, as the Metro Pulse reported, the team recruited her to move into the district. In addition the team located her husband a job. The Democrat owes everything to the team.
Pettigrew has been endorsed by TEAM, the political action arm of the Tennessee State Employees Association, some of whose members attended the luncheon on her behalf Friday.
State employees attending a political fundraiser during the work day? Hmm. What did the Governor know and when did he know it. Could it have been the same state employees that were required to contribute to the Governor’s campaign in order to get their jobs or their job promotions.
The state employees moved the attendance numbers up to 60, Wow. I wonder what the attendance numbers were before the strong arm tactics of the TN Dems reached into the state offices and grabbed state employees.
