Campaign Season Begins Anew

Know how I know? We've already got stories about white candidates visiting black churches and not having rhythm. (Subscription probably required.)

Check this quote out if you don't feel like going through the subscription thing.

Nowhere is Mr. Bloomberg's awkward connection to nonwhite voters more evident than on his visits to the city's black churches, where he almost always sits placidly, hands folded on his lap, as everyone around him leaps and sways to gospel music.

Yesterday, sitting in the front pew at Allen, Mr. Bloomberg, once again, was the last one on his feet clapping to the beat. But politically, at least, he seemed to find his rhythm with Mr. Flake's endorsement."

Yep. What a way to start the new year.
