Where have all the Democrats gone?

Running Scared

An interest trend of sorts of popping up in state legislative races in West Tennessee. Democrat candidates are refusing to go on a popular radio talk show in Jackson while Republicans in all of those races are all unafraid to take questions and talk to the people.

Where Have All The Democrats Gone?

It seems as if the SlaterRaiders have been blacklisted!

Randy Camp is one of those candidates who doesn't want to come on the show. Heaven forbid he talks to his potential constituents:

Judy Barker gave us the brush off. Bill Sanderson came to the studio.

Jim Ryal bailed on his scheduled interview, no explanaition, won't call us back. Curtis Halford talked with you.

Stan Wheeler won't return our phone calls. Vance Dennis gave specifics as to how he will increase the number of jobs in his district.

Randy Camp is too busy campaigning to…campaign. Dolores Gresham chatted with us on her cell phone on the way to another meeting. She wasn't too busy. She wants your vote.

More products of the John Tanner owned and operated Political Machine. Not the type of representation West Tennessee needs. Of course, the invitation is still out there for all of these candidates. I will ask them the following questions 1) Why do you want to run for this office. 2) What's the most important issue in your district. And 3) What will you bring to Nashville that isn't being talked about right now. 

Those 3 questions. What's that take, 5 minutes?
