Attorneys show up to endorse Jarret

OK, here's the deal: If you're a candidate in an upcoming Knox County political race, feel free to send me your spin release and I'll post it.

So far, only county Law Director Joe Jarret has taken me up on the offer. I'm sure there will be more. Joe takes on former county Commissioner Richard "Bud" Armstrong. This is going to be a good race.

Anyhoo, I know there's a good lawyer joke in here somewhere - but more than 200 local attorneys have officially endorsed Jarret. You can read the release and check out the names by clicking right smack here.

Please note that I see a lot of folks on the KNS message board (man, there are some numbskull comments that get posted over there) say the paper has already endorsed Jarret. I have no opinion in the election. As always, I'll be voting for myself.
