The not so subtle message of Lamar Alexander’s new advertising campaign in Memphis:

The second spot begins airing Wednesday in Memphis and Nashville. In it, Brown recalls that as governor in 1980, Alexander “appointed me as the first African-American justice on the Tennessee Supreme Court. More recently, Senator Alexander pushed to have Bishop William Graves approved as the first African-American to serve on the TVA Board of Directors – and then fought to keep him there when others tried to block him from serving. Lamar has always been ahead of his time, doesn’t care if you’re Democrat, Republican or independent.”
