Primary opponent: Cohen’s an a**hole
Welcome to the most impolitic race of the 2010 election cycle.
Rep. Steve Cohen’s (D-Tenn.) primary opponent, Memphis Mayor Willie Herenton, is kicking of his campaign by making it known that he thinks his opponent is, well, kind of a jerk. Except he didn’t use those words.
Since The Hill likes to keep things relatively PG, here is a link to explain (voice recording of the comment included): The Memphis Flyer.
Cohen told WMC-TV in response: “I’ve always run a positive campaign. I’m going to run on my record. I’m proud of my record”
