re: Meanwhile at Bama: new black President

Fair question. I'd honestly say both. I think he will be a good president but I also can't help but applaud that he's the first non-Machine candidate to win since 1986 and the first African-American since the 1970s. Both are significant and especially so because of the UO situation and the all-white Greek system that has been in place at Alabama for so long. Making it even better is that his opponent was a BR native.
