A little known aspect of the post-election votecount battle in Florida has been the presence of Tennesseans on the front lines there.
Some of those people we see on those cable-TV long shots checking the votes or observing the process may, in fact, be home-staters, even home-towners. Both parties have seen cadres into the Sunshine State.
Among the interlopers was Memphis Democratic activist Calvin Anderson.
