2008 Presidential Election

We are now just a few weeks away from February 5, which has been dubbed Super Duper Tuesday. That's the day voters from across Tennessee and 19 other states will go to the polls to make their choice for president.

In Knox County, the presidential primary is just one decision voters will make. They'll also be selecting party nominees for county commission and four county-wide offices. Because this is a primary, voters can't vote for president in one party and then switch over to vote for a local office in another party.

We'll talk more about the local races in the next few weeks, but this week our guests are here to talk presidential politics. Joining Gene Patterson are Metropulse columnist Frank Cagle, Billy Stair, who is a former chief of staff for Gov. Ned McWherter and currently serves as communications director at Oak Ridge National Laboratory, and Lloyd Daughtery, head of the Tennessee Conservative Union.
