Your 2008 Republican Platform

Hate teh Brown!

Matt Stoller has a flyer from New York

I spoke to a New York state party insider who told me that candidate numbers have been dropped ten points in local elections to be held tomorrow because of immigration, across all major voting blocs.  The right-wing speaks entirely in coded language about tribalism, and it’s beginning to hurt our candidates badly.

In non-Latino Districts it’s about the same in Illinois from what I’ve seen/understand from those looking at such numbers, only it’s not salient yet–but just such a bill was scheduled for consideration either in the Veto session or in January. I have a feeling it’ll get buried in the House pretty damn quickly.

The driver’s licenses for undocumented workers makes sense from a policy perspective, but getting over the hurdle of explaining it is too much.
