I do not endorse this person, nor personally know this person. I just couldn’t believe the TV station would put him in front of a camera. I actually don’t know how to respond to the video…

Thanks for letting us know that there are better choices out there for you guys!
I’m not well versed in Tennessee campaign law but at the Federal level (and in a lot of states) if you invite one candidate to appear, you have to extend the invitation to all or it is considered an in-kind contribution of the value of the air time to their campaign. The exception or loop hole often comes when you invite the sitting Representative (or Governor in this case) in their capacity as Representative and not candidate for the office….hence the power of incumbency.
Clearly, Mr. Marceaux is following the philosophy “all press (good or bad) is good press” and doesn’t have competent campaign staff to tell him the only time his name should appear in the media is via a well crafted, highly edited press release with no photos.

Wow. Wow. Wow. You sure he’s not from Kentucky?
This Basil made it on The Colbert Report last night (July 28), he showed excerpts from this video. Colbert had a hard time keeping it together during the story.
