Mixed Messages From the August 2 Election Round-What Now?



Mixed Messages From the August 2 Election Round | Politics Beat Blog

Sad to see progressives like Mike Kernell, Beverly Marrero and Jeanne Richardson loose their primaries for the Tennessee legislature. Even more shocking is that the Tennessee Democratic Party could not find any candidates who could raise enough money to run a state wide campaign to inform voters, and instead ended up with a right-wing nut as their nominee just because he was at the top of the ballot and people didn't know who to vote for:

Tennessee Dems Nominate Anti-Gay Conspiracy Theorist for Senate

Tennessee Democratic Party Disavows Senate Nominee

Now the TNDP must find some way to rally Democratic Party voters around a WRITE-IN candidate, and I suggest one of the three Shelby County progressives who lost: Mike Kernell, Beverly Marrero or Jeanne Richardson.
