Ed. Note: Its important to remember that these candidates are not the only ones seeking the post, they are just the ones selected by a voluntary ad-hoc committee.
These recommendations, in no way preclude someone else from running and winning.
Regardless of how you feel about this process, or the recommendations, you should try to come out and get to know these folks. Whether they win or lose, they’re good people who are genuinely interested in the future of the party.

Meet the Candidates – TNDP Chair ad hoc Committee http://t.co/O2TRHgGJgh Schedule for when/where to meet @tndp Chair hopefuls
Steve,
I think it’s important to point out that the committee was composed mainly of members from Nashville and some of the rest from a specific wing of the Party. Only one active member was from Shelby County. I believe this inhibited diversity of thought and produced favorites based on member bias and excluded good, potential chair candidates. As a result, some of us have requested that all candidates be invited to the Memphis meeting. The believe some of the other meetings are also including the other candidates to get a better choice.

We are inviting ALL of the candidates to Memphis, not just the favorites of the Nashville committee
