As I mentioned in my last blog entry on this race, it's a great opportunity for Tennessee bikers to get one vote closer to a biker-friendly majority. That's true for any competitive race for the state legislature.

What makes this race so special is that it is -- literally -- a "special election." In a nutshell, very few voters turnout for special elections. Getting out the vote is the name of the game, and to do that you need campaign volunteers. Bikers that help a winning candidate earn a friend for life at the state capitol.
