Mr. Herenton Goes To Washington?

[hatvol96]

Memphis Mayor/King Willie Herenton has formed an exploratory committee to gather information and raise funds for a possible run against incumbent congressman Steve Cohen. Awesome.

Dr. Potatohead never ceases to amaze...

 

[kptvol]

He will once again have to shake the haters off.

That's how he stays in such good shape; constantly shaking the haters.

And sadly, he will probably win...

 

[gsvol]

Well he couldn't be any worse than Cohen, I'll give him that.

I heard about this yesterday and thought it was great as long as he takes his buddys with him..The Feds, Dr. Cash, Janice Fullofcrap, Larry Godwin, Wanda Halbert and Mr. Cohen and Cohen Jr. and I could just go on and on, but that's a start. Go King Willie!!! :rock:

He'll win. The voters of Memphis are extremely stupid and racist.

 

[RockyTopEmpire]

long as he is out of memphis, im all for it

 

[hatvol96]

He'll win. The voters of Memphis are extremely stupid and racist.

Is that why Steve Cohen has consistently crushed black opponents throughout his political career?

 

[TheDeeble]

He'll win. The voters of Memphis are extremely stupid and racist.

And if past elections are any indication, they'll be dead also.

 

[jwells]

He'll win. The voters of Memphis are extremely stupid and opportunistic.

Fixed it for ya. Promise good things to Memphis and it'll keep you in power. Ask Boss Crump.

That explains them having a Jewish man representing them now, right?

How does Herenton keep getting reelected, perhaps just by chance in a city that is overwhelmingly black?

So, cities that are overwhelmingly white, like say Knoxville, are very racist because they elect white mayors?

It's not because he's black. It's because he's a Dem.

And if the city is so racist(I assume you mean the African-Americans in that city), why is it that it's taken Memphis over 180 years to elect a black mayor?

Do you not have a solid understanding of history, Jim Crow and such? The reason Memphis didn't have a black mayor for 170 years is pretty evident.

Perhaps, if a qualified black person had run against a unqualified white person and didn't win.

Alrighty then.

Why didn't Memphis elect a black mayor in the past 35-40 years?

That's a good question that I honestly don't have an answer to.
