Tennessee's primary is Thursday. Congressman Harold Ford Jr. is running for Bill Frist's seat in the Senate, so Ford's seat in the House is vacant. Sometimes I wish more races for federal office featured a broad array of candidates. But, having read this (both amusing and informative) review of the candidates seeking to replace Ford, maybe I shouldn't be too quick to think that more choices is necessarily a good thing.
Btw, I find it really quite interesting that there's a very real possibility that Memphis might soon have a non-African-American congressman.
