This morning, Greg Mackay was the Speaker at the Boyd Cloud Saturday Democrat Club. Mackay said the announcement stated he would give analysis of the election. That was interesting since I was considering early voting today. I thought I would find out who won or lost. That is all good natured joking. A good crowd where I was actually warmly received.
The only news I am going to report from the meeting is that on Thursday August 7 at 8 p.m. the Knox County Democrat Party will gather at the Downtown Marriott (the old Hyatt) for an election night watch party. In the 8 years since I was the Knox County Republican Chairman, they have outgrown the phone booth in the Old City. Joking!
