Herenton VS. Cohen

This will be the hardest Steve Cohen has had to work since he was elected to congress. Even then it might all be for naught, with him ultimately vacating his Washington address. This had to hit him like a straight line wind. A mass mailing of weekly emails or a visit with his trusty assistant Randy Wade won't take care of this. The tough questions are going to be asked this time. He's been on the news talking about his qualifications and the intelligence of the Memphis voters. He knows that his popularity has soared these last few years due to just the opposite. I can hear it in his voice, he's worried. That normal air of cockiness is noticeably absent. He was so sure up until now he had the seat on lock. He hasn't even been raising money for the 2010 campaign. Mayor Herenton's campaign chest is loaded. He has money left over from the Mayors race.. If this race happens, "supposedly Herenton is just testing the waters". I predict Steve Cohen's story will change real quick. He will experience the same thing the Clinton's did when Hillary ran against Barack Obama. Blacks won't vote for a white candidate no matter what they've done. When a viable black candidate is in the race.
