Democrats Play the Blame Game: It's More Fun Than Crying

Fletcher: What's he smiling about?
Hey Democrats, are you still upset by your party's latest loss at the polls? Of course you are. Well, here's a sure-fire to feel better. Let's play the blame game!

In this week's Scene, we interview Democrats and make our own little list of miscreants they'd most like to sentence to the stocks for Ty Cobb's defeat in the House District 62 special election. To summarize:

1. Phil Bredesen devoted great effort to lobbying for an Obama Cabinet spot. But campaigning for Cobb? Not so much.

2. Bill Fletcher made that TV spot telling voters the guy they've known all their lives as a pillar of the community, Pat Marsh, actually is a scofflaw who wants to clone humans.

3. Chip Forrester couldn't get out the vote. (He blames the weather.)

4. Mike Turner couldn't find a candidate capable of speaking in coherent sentences.

There you have it! The list could go on, but the Scene's news hole is only so big. Who do you blame?
