The N.Y. Times on Cullman Election


In an article this morning, The New York Times takes on the much discussed election of James Fields to a seat in the State House of Representatives. Fields is a Democratic black minister who defeated a Republican white County Commissioner. Of course the article questions the relevance of the Fields Victory to Democratic Presidential canddiate Barack Obama. It's a good read, though I'm not quite sure what reporter Adam Nossiter is getting at in his use of the word tentative..." in a state once synonymous with racial strife, there is no denying this milestone, for all its tentativeness."
