Joseph Cao
The news media has me working overtime.
Joseph Cao is the first Vietnamese American person ever to be elected to the U.S. Congress. He won his seat in a predominantly black district, so maybe we are starting to enter a post-racial era.

Thanks for voting! As N said, things are not looking good though…so every vote really...
I like this guy. Saw an interview with him on CNN over the weekend. He’s a Repub, but he says he’s gonna walk the line along the middle. I’ll take his word for it.
Just saw this in NY Times:
He is only a recent convert to the Republican Party, having been a registered independent for most of his adult life, and has no position — at least not one he cares to share yet — on President-elect Barack Obama’s agenda. His politics seem less a matter of ideology than of low-key temperament and a Jesuit-inspired desire to “help and serve people,” as he put it.
So if he’s a recent convert, maybe he’s a Bloomberg Repub. Hopefully.
