HOUSTON -- Dave Wilson chuckles as he talks about his unorthodox political campaign."I'd always said it was a long shot," Wilson says. "No, I didn't expect to win."Still, he figured he'd have fun running, because he was fed up with what he called "all the shenanigans" at the Houston Community College System. As a conservative white Republican running in a district whose voters are overwhelmingly black Democrats, the odds seemed overwhelmingly against him.Then he came up with an idea, an advertising strategy that his opponent found "disgusting." If a white guy didn't have a chance in a mostly African-American district, Wilson would lead voters to think he's black.

Maybe the people who voted for him will try to be a little less "low information" next time. Probably not, but maybe.

We all know that people frequently walk into the voting booth uninformed about the people they are about to vote for, but this really drives that point home.
Good for him. Sounds like it was time for a change.
