Tennessee’s colorful candidate Basil Marceaux unfortunately won 1% of the vote on last Thursday’s Republican Party Primary for Governor. For the public tired of the status quo in political candidates Basil helped to grab the attention of Americans all over the nation not just Tennessee where we have previously covered his campaign in previous posts at iepolitics.com.

Basil’s actions have became viral in the age of the web today, and hopefully Basil or politicians after him will be happy to follow in his footsteps to stand for the average man and woman and fight for them.

If anyone wants to follow another candidate in Basil’s shoes there is always Democratic Party nominee Alvin Greene of South Carolina in his run for U.S Senate.
