Tim Scott. Not that I disagree with your big point. The first Democratic black woman was elected to Congress before I was even born but has that ever stopped Repubs and conservatives from saying that the Democratic Party today has the same ideology of the Democratic Party of the 1860’s? Frankly it amuses me that they’re making a deal of this. For a party that loves to boast how it was responsible for the end of slavery, Civil Rights, and suffrage, it sure as hell took them a very long time to elect their first black female representative.

Scott was appointed to fill DeMint’s seat last year and just won a full term tonight, but I digress.

OK, so the TPGOP is somewhat improving…they now have two black Congressfolks, so I suppose that is progress of sorts.
