Outside

I couldn't remember this guys' name but wouldn't you know Janis Fullilove called it the other day. David Upton has made his rounds among high profile blacks in Memphis politics. He has gained more these last six years than probably the average local black elected official. He went to the Democratic National Convention as a delegate. Out of all the blacks who loaded up on buses and rented hotels miles away from the inaugural ceremonies.. How many of them had  this privilege?

I met David Upton several years ago. I didn't know who he was then. But now I understand his fascination with my political perspective. He is a decent guy for all intents and purposes. I don't hate the player. I just don't like his game. He was the campaign manager for Kemba Ford. We haven't seen the last of them. If we had a modern day "Tennessee Waltz". He would be the Joe Cooper of the group. He is the kind of man everybody knew, but nobody talks about. He is like an associate in the mafia. Kind of like a rash. He is always there.

I'm not sure what his business is or how he makes his living. But he is running interference for Congressman Cohen these days. Whenever the question comes up about him and women. Steve Cohen has nothing to say. From time to time he needs someone to vouch for him. In comes a man with the ladies. Who might even be down with the swirl. Randy Wade was rhe go to man in his office.  I bet David Upton is the short-cut to him outside.
