I just hope that this doesn't open the door for Blanton to get into office . . .

John, Can you or anyone who reads this please explain in cornbread terms what the motive or accused motive is concerning Cobb's decision to do this?

I hope Ms. Blanton DOES get in - she's got my support!

Kelly,

Why do you think there is an accused motive for Curt to resign?

I can see 3 reasons for him wanting to resign.

1) to spend more time with his family

2) Not work ridiculous hours

3) to make better money

I don't know about you, but I would resign also.

I know Curt personally and I'm glad he's leaving and getting out of the rat race down there in Nashville. He's too decent to be in politics.
