The 9th Congressional District of Tennessee is a Congressional district in southwestern Tennessee. The district is located entirely within Shelby County, and includes most of the city of Memphis. It is the state's only district located entirely in one county, as well as the state's only African-American-majority district.
Running Black Republican candidates against Jewish Democratic or White Democratic incumbants is a great tactical move. Well done.
What's not a great tactical move is overlooking more qualified White candidates for majority White districts, state or national elections out of a GOP version of "affirmative action". Our recent history is filled with "great pretenders".
Poster children: Michael Steele, Colin Powell, Armstrong Williams, J.C. Watts, etc.
When it came down to it, all these Black politicians showed that they were much more loyal to their race than to their supposed embrace of GOP ideals. Yet Beck, Rove, Armey et. al. keep telling us to try again. That's idiotic. Why Black Republicans Support Obama
