Cohen Wins By Huge Margin
So I received the good news last night that my political boyfriend, Steve Cohen barely beat Nikki “Not To Smart At Politics” Tinker.
Heh, I tease. 79 percent of the vote for Congressman Cohen isn’t bad at all.
From the always wonderful Jackson Baker from the Memphis Flyer who attended the victory ceremony.
It was, as he said amid the delirium of his victory celebration in the ballroom of the Holiday Inn on Central Avenue, a triumph for the idea that “we can all work together” and a refutation of the “negative politics” that a desperate challenger had attempted in the last few days to save herself from the palpable yearning for unity that had reached high tide among the communities of the 9th.
As Angela said, “Dear Nikki Tinker, God don’t like ugly. Voters don’t either. Now you know. Best wishes.”
And more news from across the state where something has happened for the first time in 42 years.
