Scottie Mayfield focusing on win first

[CMF Newsman]

A video posted online Wednesday shows GOP candidate Scottie Mayfield saying he must get elected to Congress before he elaborates on what he wants to do there.

"Until you get on a committee, it's really hard to get too focused," he told the College Republicans at the University of Tennessee in Knoxville. "Quite honestly, I've got a file in my file cabinet that's 'When I Get There.' I haven't really focused on that because I've got to get there first."

Mayfield was responding to a student's question about "two or three things" he'd like to accomplish in Washington.

A McMinn County dairy executive, Mayfield is challenging U.S. Rep. Chuck Fleischmann in Tennessee's 3rd Congressional District Republican primary.

What are the Pros for Mayfield other than name recognition? Tasty milk and Moose Tracks?
Mr. Mayfield "Do you have a platform?" Response: "Don't get ahead of yourself. I gotta get there first." What a joke!

Wasn't that what Nancy Pelosi said about ObamaCare?

Scottie Mayfield's political signs are so cool. My neighbor has a yard sign, and it looks just like the old milk carton design.

He should stick to his cows. He'll never win after all this.

like the old milk carton design.

What does it say? Have you seen this missing man?

[apriled]

I think his pr and sign design are an absolute flop. Clearly, they were thinking cute and not political message. Sometimes having lots of money in a campaign, does not mean it is well thought out.

political message

He has one?

How now, brown cow?
