Interview with SC Rep. Bakari Sellers -- Update

Here's an interview with South Carolina State Rep. Bakari Sellers about tomorrow's Democratic primary there. Bakari and I are in the inaugural DLC fellows class together. A little about him: he's 23 (21 when elected) and not only is he already a state representative, he's also served on the Morehouse College Board of Trustees. He garnered 55% of the vote in his 2006 bid to unseat 82 year-old incumbent Thomas Rhoad, who had been in the House for 26 years. He was told it couldn't be done, but Bakari has said that the election was simply a referendum on change. Tom Brokaw has suggested that he'll be governor of South Carolina one day. This guy's inspiring, and you'll enjoy this interview. He's picking Obama by 10.



Update: Just watched Bakari on Morning Joe this morning on MSNBC. Joe and Mika ended up talking more about him and his political career than the SC primary.
