Why do urban blacks seem to love machine politicians? Rangel should have been primaried by now.

Anyway, does it really matter at this point? I still lost 2 pounds as a result of the 4 sloppy joes.

If Rangel were defeated in a primary, it wouldn't be because of the African-American part of the district's population.

NYC has some powerful machines, I'd look at Joe Crowley as an even better example.

Well, it's easy in this case: Halvorson is white.

And I'm sure halvorson's white constituents would be clammoring to vot for a black congressman?

I don't think the Tribune sees it either. They went with JJJ.
