Tennessee Democrats Celebrate "Blue Wave" That Swept Shelby County
------------------------------------------------------------------

In more election news, Democrats in Tennessee are celebrating a "blue
wave" that swept through Shelby County last week, as Democrats won 21 of
the 26 county offices up for grabs. The "blue wave" reinstalls Democrats
to power, after Republicans seized control in 2010. Among the winners
was Democrat Lee Ardrey Harris, who was elected mayor of Shelby County.
