I believe it may be too late, however, according to today's Chattanoogan,and the Associated Press story located at the knoxnews website. Governor Phillip has called a special ethics session to begin on January 10. I believe this call is in direct response to his plunging poll numbers, the numerous calls from Bob Davis, Chairman of the Tennessee Republican Party and the Tennessee GOP, the numerous expose's by the Tennessean and the many bloggers across the state, including myself.
This troubling Bredesen quote is very revealing "We’ve been trying to play a leadership role behind the scenes," Bredesen said last week.Governor in Tennessee the government operates in the open, not behind the scenes. You must stop the practice of governing "behind the scenes"
I realize Phillip, you have come kicking and screaming to this decision. I also realize I have had nothing good to say about you recently. However, I believe in finding the good and praising it. This is Good and I praise it.

I think you are on to something in that blogs are becoming a sort of new populist media and our public officials are going to be forced to respond to the things published in blogs...because often, the things bloggers say reflect a wider public sentiment.
I hope you don't mind, but I posted in regards to this issue and linked that post to this post on your blog.
