There was just enough of the partisan energy left Saturday, Aug. 24, from the Democratic National Convention in Chicago that state House Democratic Leader Karen Camper of Memphis felt emboldened to alter the lyrics of the 1980s Culture Club hit “Karma Chameleon.”

Camper danced on stage in the Overton High School auditorium in East Memphis Saturday replacing the lyrics with Kamala — as in vice president and Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris — drawn out to replace both “karma” and “chameleon.”

The gathering of more than 100 Memphis Democrats was one of four across the state — including Nashville, Knoxville and Chattanooga — at the same time organized by the statewide political groups “Indivisible Tennessee” and “Win With Black Women - Tennessee.”

The rallies were aimed at get-out-the-vote organizers and strategists who will be carrying out a grass roots, canvassing, door knocking and phone banking effort that comes from the national campaign.
