Reply to comment by Gorgon86 in Why are we not even discussing recalling Nick Mosby? by buckeyebaby

its not a personal grievance, its just anger motivated by an experience limited to myself.

white candidates face substantial ingrained disadvantages which have only been overcome in my lifetime by either historically bad opponents, mosby is approaching that status but probably needs another 1-2 terms before his uselessness can no longer be made up for by his race, or by having more money and popularity than even costello has.

Before I respond, let me ask this question. Do you believe Mosby is in power because he is Black?

only in the respect that as a black candidate he is not immediately disqualified by a large enough portion of the electorate that he can't win.
