A blog entry in today's LA Times prints a conversation with Gov. Howard Dean on the state of the primary contest, the importance of sticking to Party rules during a national election, and the idea of a unified ticket. Aside from one cheap shot by writer Andrew Malcolm, it's a fairly decent entry on the current state of the nomination.
Another entry on the Times blog talks about the state of the race down south - way south.
Not that they can vote, but a poll among people in Mexico shows the race even between Clinton and Obama. Curious if a current poll among Mexican-Americans would show similar standings.
Our LATimes.com colleagues over at the La Plaza Latin America blog have an interesting item on a newspaper poll down south that shows Mexicans are also about evenly split between Senora Hillary Clinton and Senor Barack Obama.
About 31% favor each of them. Senor Juan McCain does not get many votes, only 7%, despite his politically costly support for immigration reform last spring.
More likely, given McCain's showings, this could be a reflection on the positions of the political parties than it is of the candidates and their individual positions.
