I suppose some people will look askance at the chances of an African-American or a mayor of Columbus - much less an African-American mayor of Columbus - getting elected governor of Ohio. But hey, the former wasn't an obstacle to his election as mayor, and given his tenure as mayor, the latter might even turn out to be a plus. He's an impressive guy, has some interesting accomplishments to note, and he's has shown that he can raise money. Given the pathetic state of the Democratic party in Ohio you'd have to think that whomever that party nominates in 2006 will face on up-hill race that November, but Coleman's could prove to be an unusually strong candidacy.
