Alabama: historic win by black candidate

The Cullman Times reports: Democrats appear to be headed for a historic win by James Fields in the Alabama House District 12 special election With 20 of 38 precincts reporting, Fields leads his Republican opponent, Wayne Willingham, with 1,929 votes to 1,386. If Fields wins, he will be the first African-American elected to represent Cullman County at the state level. -- CullmanTimes.com, Cullman, Alabama - Homepage

Doc's Political Parlor quotes a Republican, "Fields won by a significant margin."

According to the official data, H.D. 12 was 1.60% black in 2000. Yes, less than 2%.

That sound you hear is pigs flying.
