  1. Briley's vote kind of surprises me because Jameson is his campaign Chairman.

  2. It might surprise you to know that most candidates and their campaign staff don't agree on many subjects. I am sure Councilman Jameson and Councilman Briley are no different and its irrelevant as long as they both agree that David Briley is best suited to be Nashville's next Mayor (which appears to be the case).

    I am surprised to see no kudos to David Briley and Carolyn Baldwin Tucker for at least voting and not abstaining like Mayoral candidate Buck Dozier and Vice-Mayoral candidate Diane Neighbors. I'd respect these two gutless candidates much more if they at least took a stand I didn't agree with. With the Mayor's race only 3 1/2 months away, when are you bloggers and media types going to start asking all the candidates where they stand? Will the next Mayor be someone who didn't have to answer the hard questions because he wasn't it office while running for Mayor?
