In a Tennessee Republican Party Executive Committee Conference Call this morning Chairman Bob Davis informed the Party that he would be stepping down as Chairman August 4, 2007.

All bets are on that he will join his old boss Fred Dalton Thompson for the Presidential campaign.

Certainly during Bob’s tenure the party has regained it status as a Majority party. During my term as Knox County Chairman Bob and I worked well together. He was always available and willing to assist.

In the interim, I hope the Executive Committee will look to Robin Smith to take control for the next year and a half. In her position as Vice Chair she is aware of the parties efforts to gain further control of the State Senate and its plan to assume control of the State House.

Good Luck to Chairman Davis in his future endeavors.
