Long story short, the black 5 term mayor of Memphis is primarying Cohen because he says TN-9 is "reserved" for black people. In a way, I guess he's right, but Cohen, who had a landslide victory against a different black candidate in the primary two years ago, is dominating again. The only demographic Herenton is winning is his own neighborhood. The pollster is a local organization who has a good record on local races in the past.

Not surprising; for all his bluster, Herenton has barely raised any money.

Statements like that don't endear mulatto candidates to Black voters.
