This is FANTASTIC news!!!!!!!!!
A Ford/Pelosi battle can only further alienate African-Americans from the rats.
Can you imagine in recent months, the party that brought us the "first Black President" has: not given adequate support to their African American candidate for Governor of New York; (in the minds of many Georgia African Americans) wouldn't back incumbent Rat Cynthia McKinney when she needed it, gave McAuliffe the Chairmanship of the DNC over the African American Mayor of Atlanta; and now will elect a rich, connected white female power broker as their Minority House Leader over a (comparitively) "main stream" African American.
Contrast this with Rod Paige, Colin Powell, Condi Rice (I'm sure the list goes on and on) as high profile powerbrokers of the GOP and I believe what you get is decreased African American turn out and/or more open mindedness towards the GOP (dare we hope).
The rats continue to self destruct and Pelosi as Minority Leader just helps it along all the more.
