Now, I'm not even sure what to think about this. Part of me wants to scream that he should be removed - even if he did win - for misleading the constiuents in the district. The other part of me thinks this guy is brilliant. He knew he didn't have a chance in hell to win that seat being an older, white man. He employed campaign tactics that won him the election. I mean, come on..... we've gotten so used to politicians lying about everything else..... should we be shocked when a politician lies about his own race to win an election? I don't think so. I think if you asked any politician - off the record, of course - they'd admit that they would slap their mommas if they thought it would help win an election.
So, the bigger question here: are we still so divided that a candidate can win by forging his race? It would seem that way. And if we are, who's creating the divide? It's something to think about.....
