Paging Kevin Doherty!

(H/t LeftWingCracker)

The Commercial Appeal is reporting tonight that former TNDP chairman Bob Tuke will not challenge Lamar! Alexander for his Senate seat.

Tuke, 59, said personal, professional and community obligations, including teaching as an adjunct professor at Vanderbilt and chairing community boards, prompted the decision.

"I am gratified and honored by the confidence many friends and party officials have shown in me while urging me to run for this high office, and I look forward to assisting whoever our candidate may be in defeating a Senator who seems to have forgotten the interests of those who elected him," Tuke added.

Fighting words. Unfortunately, that doesn't do us a whole lot of good right now.

Hey, Kevin Doherty? Do you still want to run? You had the best credentials of all of the candidates all along. I refuse to concede this race a year in advance--no one thought Conrad Burns in Montana or George Allen in Virginia could be touched either, and looked what happened there! It's not too late, but it will be if you wait any longer.

The floor is all yours...
