Talk:Bob Clement

Confusing
This article is overloaded with independent and dependent clauses and parenthetical expressions. It's confusing! Can someone explain what the following snippets has to do with this biography:

It also says twice that Clement is active in Democratic political circles -- OK we can see that, already.
 * No Republican was ever elected to the Public Service Commission in Tennessee during its existence, which later played a factor in its abolition.
 * Butcher's total expenditures in running for governor of Tennessee that year exceeded $4,000,000, a then unheard-of amount for a relatively small state. By comparison, Jerry Brown in the same year also spent about $4,000,000 running for re-election as governor of California, a far larger state in both area and population. Butcher nonetheless lost the general election to Republican Lamar Alexander.
 * ... at this time, the TVA Board had only three members and unlike most similar positions was a full-time job...
 * This institution, founded in the 1840s, had at one time been a prestigious university but had fallen upon hard times, never fully recovering from the Great Depression and the widespread availablity of lower-cost public higher education after World War II. The low point in its problems probably occurred in the early 1960s when it was forced, for financial reasons, to sell its once-renowned law school (which Clement's father had attended) to what is now Samford University. - this info could go to Cumberland College's article, instead.
 * A Republican has not made a serious run for this district since 1972.

Check out this 73-word sentence:
 * He defeated three-term incumbent Hammond Fowler in the 1972 Democratic primary by an incredible margin of almost three to one, bolstered in part by a televised debate in which he appeared to be young and vibrant while his opponent appeared to be old and doddering, and went on in November to overwhelm Republican nominee Tom Garland in what was otherwise largely a very good year for Republicans in Tennessee running for major offices.

This article needs cleanup. -- Perfecto 05:31, 11 November 2005 (UTC) P.S. ... and perhaps can a Republican wikify the Republican politicians in this article, please? :)
