It was again an election time. And again it was done. The two gentlemen in the photo above were TN gubernatorial candidates. The bottom one (Bill Haslam, Republican) won the race, and he will lead TN for the next four years. Hope people chose right one.
Perhaps because of my frequent voting records, this election season our phone received a number of messages that came from the candidates or their election camp, asking for our support. Since I became a naturalized citizen, I had voted for presidential election three times (George Bush vs. Al Gore; G. Bush vs. John Kerry; Barrack Obama vs. John McCain), and perhaps twice for Governor election. I could have done it more, but my first voting action needed some courage.
TN seems to be a Republican territory, as I did not see much success by Democrat candidates. For instance, Al Gore (D) lost at his home state; otherwise, he would win the election, regardless of Florida result.
Last presidential race made Tina Fey a star. In a SNL show, she played a role as Sarah Palin. Sarah, in her forties, is an attractive woman; a bumper sticker in Alaska said, "Coldest State, Hottest Governor". In that show, Tina copycat Sarah so real. At first sight, lots of audience confused really!!!. It was a big hit as a political comedy for a while. She gained a big fame, now plays a role, as a main character, in many movies and TV shows.
Who is going to be a Republican presidential candidate in two years? It is too premature to talk about it. Some time later next year, it will be an issue. Time flies like an arrow.
