The Race to Succeed Harold Ford Jr.

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.
