Bill Haslam and Madeline Rogero both have demonstrated a grasp of the many issues facing the city and a capacity to lead that will stand Knoxville in good stead for the next four years.

Why a Haslam would opt to leave the corporate world for the world of politics is just one of many questions that overhang him as he pursues his bid for elected office.
As Bill recalls it, "The two basic decisions that we made were to get into the restaurant business and to become a national company." But each of those decisions put strains on the company's management resources.
Haslam is acutely conscious of how his family name can be a two-edged sword in his campaign.

 Metro Pulse/Insights/Bill Haslam's Challenges   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
The biggest obstacle that Bill Haslam had to overcome in winning election as mayor on Tuesday was the rallying cry of his opponent, Madeline Rogero, that too few people have been making too many decisions in this city for too long.
When Haslam launched his campaign for mayor, he keyed it to the theme "It's Knoxville's Time." The import, while unstated, was that Knoxville has been flagging or lagging in its development compared to sister cities such as Chattanooga.
Haslam is also committed to more public involvement in decision making, but defining what forms of involvement in what sort of process will also be a challenge.

Haslam shelved several inherited annexation proposals in January, shortly after he took office, and promised to re-examine the practice in order to draft a more coherent and defensible policy.
Haslam hasn't indicated a timeline yet for when he will address the issue further, but he said he's willing to meet with people on all sides of the debate before reaching a decision.
Mayor Bill Haslam has pulled back from any further annexations on the city's part until, he says, "I have a policy we can defend and that I believe in." In arriving at such a policy he may need to look no further than the statute governing annexations that the state Legislature enacted in 1998.

 Haslam urged to support gun violence | KnoxViews
Apparently there was some kind of brouhaha on the gun blogs about Knoxville Mayor Bill Haslam signing on to a mayor's conference resolution to work against the proliferation of illegal guns.
Naturally, the gun bloggers concluded that Haslam had signaled his clear intent to unilaterally throw out the 2nd Amendment and invite NY Mayor Bloomberg's anti-gun SWAT task force down to confiscate all their AK-47s and AR-15s using the secret illegal gun registry maintained by the KPD and the ATF and Hillary Clinton.
Haslam made a mistake, not backing down as you say is more about trying not to admit he made a mistake.
