As predicted . . .

there was better analysis the following day regarding Obama’s address to Congress.  One of the better articles was from Politico.

Even better there’s a poll on the front page of Politico’s website asking what readers thought of Jindal’s rebuttal last night.  As of  1:04 am EST. 67% of Politico readers who answered the poll (8878 votes) thought [...]

Gov. Jindal’s Speech Pattern

Did anyone think Jindal sounded particularly folksy tonight?  I know he can speak.  In fact, we all know he is smart, even if he is a bit crazy with the far right fundamentalist Christianity.  Well, actually, why don’t you decide?

I can’t keep up with all the endorsements flying in every which direction.

What No One is Talking About in Campaign 08

Amidst all this talk of courting niche constituencies, one population that does not seem to be in the spotlight, yet should, is the Latino vote.  With the US Latino population recently eclipsing African Americans as the largest minority, none of the Democratic candidates seem to be addressing this group with the same dedication.  Republicans have recently been dissing Latinos with [...]
