Little Bob to GOP: "Check, please!"
The current issue of Nashville Today (sorry, no Web site) reports that several Republican heavyweights have given big bucks to the Bob Clement for Mayor campaign. According to the weekly tabloid, Beth Fortune, State Representative Beth Harwell, and Ted Welch represent the nucleus of a small but growing cadre of GOP voters who're willing to open their checkbook for Little Bob.
I predicted that some big-name Republicans would support Bob Clement. I said as much over a month ago:
"The prospect of a social-crusading, property tax-raising mayor, see At-Large Councilman David Briley or Metro Legal Director Karl Dean, will no doubt lead some Republicans to support Bob Clement. Most of that support, however, will be monetary. Indeed, don't look for there to be roving bands of Republicans for Clement activists knocking on doors and manning phone banks at any point during next year's mayoral campaign."
