Paul Nussbaum pens an article for the Philadelphia Inquirer titled Pragmatic Politics of Indiana. It might have been subtitled, “There’s Nothing Wrong With Kansas, What’s The Matter With Politics.”
The article details the failings of Democrats at trying to connect with mainstream voters in the heartland. It could just as easily have looked at the
I’m currently working on three or four projects that I’m very excited about. The day job at NCTA is really taking up a lot of time with our National Show last week and markup on the house telecom reform bill next week. I’ve also got daddy duty since mom is traveling this week.
