Kaus: The truth of the material in the GOP piece is not the point. The point is that this is a thinly-veiled racist appeal to dimwits. Young Al Gore got elected in Tennessee because his dad, old Al Gore, served before him and reliably voted the segregationist line. (Oh, young Al Gore also won the popular vote in the 2000 presidential election. Remember?) Hoke: When I referred to the Tennessee Republican Party’s “constituents,” I meant the party rank-and-file.
