Oh My God - Has It Come to This?


His name is Harold Ford, Jr. He's black. He might just be the first Afro-American from the south to win a Senate seat. It's only been a century and a half roughly since the end of the Civil War so I guess southern voters just haven't had a chance to vote for a black guy before. I mean, it's not like there could be any other reason, could there?

Ford is the Democratic contender for the Tennessee senate seat being vacated by Bill Frist. He's said to be in an even race with his Republican opponent.

You've come a long way, baby.
