Andy Sherr reports that Rep. Richard Floyd (R-Chattanooga) is supporting former Rep. Jim Vincent for a House seat. http://www.timesfreepress.com/news/2008/apr/13/floyd-vincent-house-district-31/
Floyd's nod to Vincent puts him at odds with the House Republican leadership who are backing Rep. Jim Cobb (R-Spring City) in the race. Rep. Jason Mumpower (R-Bristol) and Rep. Glen Casada (R-College Grove) are among those who wrote to the Chattanooga Times Free Press in support of Cobb.
With all the members of the General Assembly retiring and with contested primaries, we should look for huge changes in the 106th session.

Interesting Republican House primary heating up
The Chattanooga Times Free Press reports that former Rep. Jim Vincent will seek his old seat against fellow Republican Jim Cobb. http://www.timesfreepress.com/news/2008/mar/29/vincent-run-again-state-house-seat/
District 31 includes northern Hamilton County and Rhea County. Yes, that Rhea County that tried to ban gays.
"Mr. Vincent said he conducted a poll of Hamilton and Rhea counties and found conditions favorable for him to run. He declined to share the poll results with the media." Hmmm. One can only wonder what those favorable conditions include.
