NPR this morning:
So, they were interviewing a woman who grew up the daughter of Mexican immigrant migrant farm workers. She is now a nurse practitioner. She is planning on voting for Romney.
Bad, bad NPR for finding a Latina voter planning on voting Republican, right?
But it turns out that although this woman is voting for Romney over values issues, her real priority is the Dream Act. She thinks that Romney will pass it. So now we know what it will take to change this woman's vote; make it absolutely clear to her where Romney stands on the Dream Act.
Two parts of the story that NPR missed; I'm left wondering what this woman's parents' immigration status is. Also, how much federal aid did she get to go to college? I suspect she owes a lot to Democratic policies!
Californians - is this an unusual pattern?

Put up or shut up - if republicans are so concerned about people on welfare not working,
let's see them vote for providing government jobs. Start by doubling the budget for VISTA and go from there!
How about a new model CCC for recent high school grads?
Mr. Romney; as of August 4, what is the difference between Ted Nugent and WadeMichael Page?
Follow-up question; in light of Mr. Page's alleged actions August 5, why haven't you repudiated Mr. Nugent?
Did Romney get rich by running legal Ponzi schemes?
Borrow money to buy a company, borrow against the company to produce dividends for self and friends, allow company to go bankrupt.
Sounds like a Ponzi scheme to me!
chicken question -
I had a feed bin on its side, and it became the favorite spot for my hens to lay eggs. I'm going to get some 5 gallon pails to set up as nesting boxes. My question is whether anyone has any opinions on round buckets v square buckets for this purpose? White, black, yellow, green, red or blue?
Romney could have taken any of the profits from closing down a plant
and re-invested it in a new plant in that town!
Question about college students:
My sister is on my case because she found out that the college daughter tends to stay up until 3AM on the computer, then sleep until noon. My sister think she should be getting up at 7AM at the latest.
So my question is; absent something like an 8AM class, do college students tend to go nocturnal?
