Basil Marceaux is one of the several candidates for Governor of Tennessee this season.  In the past, Mr. Marceaux has run for Congress and mayor of Chattanooga.

Now he's gone viral.

This editor usually does not use material generated by other local news outlets, but the clip above - from WSMV in Nashville, has drawn over a half million YouTube views, a record of which the fledgling Tea Party HD could justifiably be envious.

And that's just one of Mr. Marceaux's videos: he's like a walking one-camera network!

Mr. Marceaux' website introduces the candidate and lists his specifications for a good senator or governor:

1. FOLLOWS THE OATH TO THE CONSTITUTION

2. HAS WELL-BEING FOR THE CITIZENS RIGHTS AND SAFETY

3. PEOPLE PERSON

4. HONEST AND SMART

5. A GOOD LISTENER

And who can argue with that?
