THE DEMOCRATS’ WORST FEAR is about to come true:

Among the many reverberations of President Obama’s election, here is one he probably never anticipated: at least 32 African-Americans are running for Congress this year as Republicans, the biggest surge since Reconstruction, according to party officials.

One candidate, Corrogan R. Vaughn attended the Tax Day tea party in Washington, D.C, and was greeted enthusiastically.

Democrats should also worry about Warriors for Congress, a non-partisan group seeking and supporting former military personnel interested in running for Congress. The military services have been fully integrated for years, and in my experience, their Warrior Ethos isn’t particularly consistent with the Democrats’ 'Class Warrior' philosophy.
