I was so pleased to see a Conservative, Black Lady running for Congress in Tennessee's 9th District. I hope some of you TN FReepers will check out her website and lend your support.

BTW, she is NOT a Conservative 'Rat; she is a CONSERVATIVE PUBBIE. A victory over her Dem opponent would move us closer to removing Nancy Pelosi from the Speaker's Chair.

“Those two leaders that were elected and given a chance to lead our community; they have not done the job. So, bring in the woman.”

I’m all for that.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I didn't think so. At least one does not have to muddle through links hitting you up for a campaign donation, before getting to the home page, like most Political websites have.

It is not about beauty but effective marketing.

This isn’t a criticism of the candidate, but I agree the site looks like something from the late 90’s. Too much going on at once. It’s like someone vomited and then uploaded it to a server.

Leave some space so our eyes are drawn to the important points. I’ve we’re interested we’ll explore the rest of the photo’s and things later.

Is this ironic or what...We’ve got a Black woman backed by white voters coming up against a White man backed by Black voters. Politics makes strange bedfellows.

I do like this candidate, however, they are right, her site could use a little clean-up just to bring focus to her message. A campaign website should have a flow that, first sends the eye to the candidates name, then to a main message statement, then to a donation link (if that is your goal).

A slight re-arranging could help. Here are some examples:

http://www.williamsfortexas.com/
http://www.quayleforcongress.com/
http://www.jdforsenate.com/

None of this is anything against the candidate, heck, I’ll probably throw some money her way after checking her position statements and the like. Just following up on what others said so if she does stumble on this, it may help a little bit.

Not when you look at it as a Conservative candidate backed by Conservative voters versus a liberal candidate backed by liberal voters.

Thanks for the ping. There is a poll to help get Charlotte more exposure in yesterday’s thread.

This was yesterday’s thread, it concerns her obama butt kisser’s opponent racial comments.

Dem US REP Steve Cohen opens mouth inserts racial foot (my title LOL)

I think the web site is ok, all the photos show she has supporters of all colors. It is combining the campaign with the Tea Party stuff she does. You have to have some one who does web designing on your team or be able to pay for it. That she took a small amount of money and turned it into a primary win took some hard work. Her 2 opponents didn’t even bother to have web sites or yard signs.

Charlotte pulled herself up by her boot straps from poverty, raised her children, went to college, and paid the loans back. Has worked in the private sector and created jobs as a small business owner.

It’s a very Democratic district, but even her running sends a strong message. And it’s not at all unreasonable to suppose she could win.

Other black Republicans running (Most likely to win at the top)

Tim Scott, SC-1
Allen West, FL-22
Bill Randall, NC-13
Ryan Frazier, CO-7
David Castillo, WA-3 (must still win primary)
Vernon Parker, AZ-3 (must still win primary)
Crystopher Smith, CA-39
