That's my Congressman. He is a true Blue Dog (Cohen of Memphis is the other and only Dem, a Progressive one).

Cooper hasn't exactly been out there for Obama either (he endorsed him on 08); though he has no problem standing in front of an HBCU (an alma mater) or on the north side of town asking for our votes in every election cycle.

But the flip side, Davidson County will stay blue. Our mayor was raised in Gardner, MA and one of Kerry's TN field directors ran his re-election campaign.

This is how TN rolls, GOP gov, a DINO plant to run against Corker, and GOP controlled state House/Senate, anti-Obamas attitudes, xenophobia, and loathing of "Big Guv'ment."

It's the Bible Belt and we can only hope things get better. Go figure.
