Help me out here, is this guy African-American?

Sort of. He's an extremely light skinned black person. He's also very good in interviews, and puts himself across as a "moderate." Definitely has more political skills and class than your average black caucus congressman. He definitely has a decent chance of winning if the Republicans put up a weak candidate.

So true. The first few times I saw him on TV I though he was an agreable Zel Miller type Democrat. He is a very SLICK politician.

I saw Ford on Politically Incorrect and he came across as very humorless. A conservative woman was on the show was making funny comments about Clinton and Ford just gave her an unsmiling death stare.
