Perspective
I saw this tonight...
- Michael Steele, the Republican candidate for Senate in Maryland is not exactly a conservative's ideal candidate. But he is as an African-American running in a very blue Northeast state, his battle is uphill, so we can't expect our ideal in this race.
What would you call me?
An idiot at the least, perhaps ill-syntaxed.
No matter what, it really begs the question of what the ideal would be. A white guy?
At which point I'm a bigot, or really really really clumsy with English.
Anyway, here's what it really said.
- Harold Ford, Jr., the Democratic candidate for Senate in Tennessee is not exactly a progressive's ideal candidate. But he is as an African-American running in a very Red Southern state, his battle is uphill, so we can't expect our ideal in this race.
On the front page of DailyKos, it's ok. They're liberals.
Nothing to see here.

OK,..then what does that make Lynn Swann up here in PA?
He's a black conservative in a VERY red state with two big blue blotches on the edges.
Seems black voters ARE color-blind, because Fast Eddie Rendell, the D incumbent, is killing Swann by 20+ points in the polls.
