Race bating in an American political election. Yup, it certainly did bother me and perhaps that is why Obama stayed out of the State. I am personally not to thrilled with the result, but I do hope that this makes it possible for a better ballot access bill to be passed. Shocking! Race bating in an American political election.

That incumbent is also African-American, so it was an eyebrow-raiser, at best. Then again, having an African-American win several terms in East Tennessee is pretty remarkable.
