The take on Bobby Jindal on these here intertubes this morning was that he came off like Kenneth the Page during his presidential response last night. Yep, that is the exact comparison many are making: Kenneth the Page. Ouch. What’s worse is the speed at which this particular meme has travelled. Take for example the [...]

They quote Jorge Luis Garcia as saying that he [...]
I attended the first meeting of the Pima County Latino Caucus meeting on Friday night. There were a lot of non-latino faces there, which could be an indication of part of the problem with latino outreach in the local party organization, or the glass could be half full and this could be because non-latinos in [...]
