Competition Is Fierce in Tenn.

You’ll notice our story on Tennessee gubernatorial candidate Ron Ramsey saying that Islam may not be entitled to 1st Amendment religious freedom protections because it’s a cult. It occurs to me that this is another example of the fierce competition for the crazy is races around the country — but apparently some races more than others. Ramsey is currently running in third place in the GOP governor’s primary in Tennessee. And the guy who’s running in second is Rep. Zach Wamp, who just last week threatened that Tennessee might secede from the United States over Health Care Reform.
