A few months back, I mentioned some advice on this site, regarding taking over the Democratic Party in the South, employing a more thoughtful set of tactics as Alvin Greene had used to win the Democratic Senate Nomination in South Carolina last cycle. When a convict took 40% for President in the West Virginia Democratic Primary, the tactics moved into protest votes. And now…
In the South, the Democratic Party apparatus is particularly weak, and following solid tactics, Mark Clayton won the Democratic Senate Nomination in Tennessee, in a seven person primary.
Mr. Clayton is not your typical Democrat: he is pro-life, favors traditional marriage, but/and believes in civil liberties and adherence to the Constitution.
His name was also first on the ballot–or that is why they say he won.
A major milestone in the Alvin Greene school of political tactics.

Sounds like he could be another Bob Conley. Too bad many if not most people vote down ticket. That means many liberals will vote for him because he is a Democrat and many Republicans for the same reason.

Greene was more of a political fluke, a trick really (how does an unemployed man find enough money to get on the ballot?). But the success Conley and now this Clayton fellow show once again in many cases the parties are hollow shells just waiting to be taken over.

I’m with you, Sean. The parties are hollow shells of old apparatchiks, and even the young slobs at my state convention working for the Bad Guys, didn’t understand that we would record them; we would post the videos on web sites.
I’d also note that Al Gore was pro-life 30 years ago, and his wife was a leading “cultural conservative” leading the PMRC–probably why I don’t care for Tennessee “conservatives” of either party. And worth noting to prove the point, Fred Phelps worked for Gore in Kansas so it is not like the Gore family was not going after the same demo.
