There Is More Than One Way To Play This Game And Lamar Knows All Of Them

Chris Sanders criticizes a recent profile of Senate Republican Conference Chair Lamar Alexander for not including one of his most recent achievements: a successful play of the race card against a Democratic opponent:

One of Sen. Alexander’s recent outreach efforts was missing from the story, though. He worked with Democratic Congressman Steve Cohen to get Bishop William Graves of Memphis reappointed to the TVA board. He had been deadlocked with Democratic Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid who thought it was time for a Democrat to be appointed to the board. Bishop Graves identifies as a Democrat, but has supported Republicans such as President Bush and Alexander himself.
