Amusing that Rich Whitney first compliments Sheila Simon for her selection at the Democratic candidate for Lt. Governor, then in the next paragraph slams the party for selecting her rather than Art Turner, who came in second in the actual primary, saying that choosing her takes for granted the African American vote.
Of course, as the Archpundit points out, the Democratic party is running three black candidates for statewide offices versus the Green Party's one. You can justifiable criticize Simon for not running for the office during the primary, or for having little experience in elected office, but to bring race into it is just silly.
