Openly atheist Dem trumped by Republican landslide in special election in Tennessee

Openly atheist Democrat Gayle Jordan lost a special election on Tuesday to fill a vacant seat in the Tennessee Senate.
Republican Shane Reeves won in a landslide, according to unofficial results from the Tennessee secretary of state. He received 13,139 votes compared to 5,179 votes for Jordan.
Jordan is executive director of Recovering from Religion, a group that supports people who wish to leave their faith behind. She is a former Southern Baptist who left the denomination 10 years ago when her then-teenagers began asking questions she could not answer.
"We're disappointed in the results but we couldn't be prouder of the campaign that we ran," she told the Daily News Journal in Murfreesboro.
Senate Speaker Randy McNally, who previously called Jordan a dangerous candidate, said in a statement Tuesday night that Reeves win showed that any blue wave will hit a big, red seawall in Tennessee.".

(22,976 posts)Sure, your church-going boy came out on top, but think about it-- as many as 40% of Tennesseans in that district were okay with Gayle Jordan's atheism. That's more than a good start.
