This is your mind on politics

January 11, 2008

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 […]

January 10, 2008

If you’re interested in Fair Copyright for Canada, the Facebook group founded by Michael Geist to help ensure that the Canadian government hears from Canadians concerned about Copyright Law, you might also be interested in the local Toronto chapter, created to help coordinate local action on this issue.

The Day After for Senator Clinton

January 9, 2008

Perhaps the only truly compelling takeaway for me of the last few days in US politics is the vivid demonstration of how many people truly, madly and deeply hate Senator Clinton (I’ve always known there was dislike, but this was something of an entirely different nature).

Nashua Numbers

January 7, 2008

Weird. Christina Bellantoni of the Washington Times says Clinton had more attend her Nashua event than Obama’s (though she says a bunch were shipped in from out of the state) but Dickerson says Obama had more.

If you’re wondering about the title of this NYT piece, the answer is yes, in the NYT style book “some” equals “2”, and it’s 2 only because Arrington is interviewed in the last graf and says he works hard. Otherwise, the piece is about Om’s heart attack.
