This and that in the news

Here's an item on MYDD today that shows we Democrats already are running a strong campaign to increase our numbers in the next Congress. If the Republican incumbents think they can distance themselves from the stink in the White House, ads already are showing that they stink, too.

One more from MYDD strikes a familiar note: Republicans who balked at reform of immigration law are going to be big targets. This is what we're on about in South Florida, though mostly from the angle of registering new citizens to vote. The MYDD item led me into my first encounter with The Politico blog, which delved into efforts by the National Council of La Raza; it also quotes Simon Rosenberg, head of the New Democratic Network, who has appeared here in Miami-Dade Dems more than once.
