Wow. Good, Cohen is running away with it! nt

[Pirate Smile]

1. Yeah!

What a great result considering all the demographic issues at play in this race. Awesome news.

2. Good for Cohen..... Where did Tinker get her money?

She and her cohorts need to scrutinized for being assholes
and thugs. I know Harold Ford jr. is related to her campaign.

3. Very nice.

6. 75% now reporting in... still at 79% Cohen

Good!

[Jackpine Radical]

4. WooHoo! The Jackpine Forecasting Service calls it for Cohen.

Hot diggity Damn. Chalk one up for the Good Guys. Not the least of my joy is in seeing slime DLC Operative Harold Ford getting kneecapped by the Memphis electorate.

8. Race baiting didn't work for Clinton, Jew baiting didn't work for this lady....

Hopefully this is the start of a loooong trend.

7. Maybe we are moving beyond race into post racial politics

Steve Cohen, Jewish guy, liberal, outspoken on impeacement and single payer, beats Nikki Tinker, black woman connected to machine politics, with 79% of the vote in a 60% African American district.

Next, Barack Obama, African American/Kansas white product will win the Presidency of a country that will in 2050 be majority minority.

The Times they are a changin'.

9. It's great. I love it.

10. phillsuse...I hope you are correct.

I hope this is really the beginning of the end of racism in the U.S.A. A dream we can all be proud of.

12. "I'm goin' for Cohen!"

:bounce:

Note to Tinker: When linking opponent to the Klan, first ensure he is not Jewish, as the Klan despises Jews just as it does blacks. :dunce: Better still, just put a cork in it! :grr:

13. Cohen is great. I live in Tennessee and have been a supporter

for a long time. :dem:
