Congratulations to Terri Sewell! You beat "the beast of Jeffco", Shelia Smoot, thus ending that self-serving fool's political career for now. Sewell's progressive platform, ground game of knocking on doors of houses, and warchest of $1 million+ from tenacious fund raising over the past year helped her win (even in Smoot's so-called "territory", Jefferson County by nearly 2,000 votes). I'm enthused that she overcome the foolishness that was projected at her from the Smoot camp and their brigade of shills.
Now on to November where Sewell needs to take down Republican competitor, Chamberlain, which shouldn't be that difficult considering this is a heavily Democrat-leaning district (the only in Alabama). Then she'll be Alabama's first black congresswoman!
The discussion of social issues and happenings across the South (sometimes the nation). Along with some rants about things such as the media (radio, TV, and internet), music, etc. from a socially progressive yet politically independent perspective.
