NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP/NewsChannel 5) - A federal judge has refused to void the Tennessee Democratic primary for U.S. Senate won by an anti-gay candidate the party has disavowed.
District Judge Kevin Sharp ruled that the lawsuit filed by losing candidate Larry Crim was improper because it was not filed against an individual.
Crim sued the state Division of Elections and the Tennessee Democratic Party trying to keep the winner of the August 2 primary, Mark Clayton, off the November ballot.

Tough nuts, Dems....that's what you get for not properly 'vetting' your candidates to begin with!
ROFLMAO!
The TN Democrat party is dead. Their sole remaining power in the state is on the bench and in urban enclaves.
