Marceaux plans write-in campaign


NASHVILLE — The way Basil Marceaux Sr., of Soddy-Daisy, figures it, Tennessee Republican gubernatorial primary voters simply weren’t his kind of crowd.

So that’s why the Internet sensation, who as a candidate came in fifth place during the Aug. 5 GOP primary, is going for a broader audience. He said he is mounting a full-fledged write-in effort as an independent in the Nov. 2 general election contest for governor.

“I’m the very first Republican in a republic, and Republicans in a democracy didn’t treat me very well,” said the 57-year-old Marceaux, whose garbled and occasionally swaying one-minute presentation of his unconventional views were aired by a Nashville television station this summer.

The appearance made its way to YouTube, and Marceaux’s presentation quickly went viral in July as he discussed his desire to recall all gun permits and registration and require everyone to carry guns.

“If you kill someone, no, you get murdered,” he said on the video.
