This is your mind on politics

11 Jan ’08

Two images from yesterday that were in striking contrast:

From the NYT:

Although the debate was held in South Carolina, Mr. Romney — who has pulled his advertising out of the state after a year-long effort to court Republicans there, concentrating instead on Michigan — turned the very first question, about the economy, into an appeal for Michigan votes.

“I know that there are some people who think, as Senator McCain did — he said, you know, some jobs have left Michigan that are never coming back,” he said. “I disagree. I’m going to fight for every single job. Michigan, South Carolina, every state in this country. We’re going to fight for jobs and make sure that our future is bright.”

And again:

This week, as Tata Motors unveiled the world’s cheapest car, the $2,500 Nano, and automakers from across the world came to New Delhi to peddle their wares to a bubbling Indian car market, Mr. Sharma began to think about his driving.
