We didn&#8217;t think one bit about the seven-year old former issues in the department. Based on the voter statistics, the traditionally black community unsurprisingly made it into a racial vote with Childress getting over 75% of the vote in those precincts (and up over 91% in one), but I digress. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Sidewinder&#8221; deserves an answer from the editorial staff on why they changed their tune on Jim Dooley.
