The local news here in Nashville said the caravan was a major factor in Blackheart's win.

I'm so embarrassed for my state. I had hoped it wasn't as backward as it is. Bredesen won all 95 counties when he ran for Governor- He won 4 tonight. It is encouraging to see a Republican dominated state like Kansas do the right smart thing. Damn!!

I will be even more reticent than I previously was, about moving there if a transfer was necessary.
