News PolitiquerÃa barata

Sen. Hillary Clinton spent part of Thursday campaigning in a largely Latino neighborhood in Las Vegas. Polls indicate Clinton is doing well among voters. Perhaps it's because she speaks in terms she thinks they'll understand.
From the Las Vegas Review-Journal:
Clinton said unscrupulous lending leads to bad mortgages, which lead to foreclosures, which lead to people with nowhere to go and vacant neighborhoods that can go rapidly downhill."We treat these problems as if one is guacamole and one is chips, when ... they both go together," she said.
A new AJC poll shows Clinton and Obama running neck-and-neck ahead of Georgia's Feb. 5 Democratic primary election. I predict the winner will be the first candidate who comes here and says something about how air quality and public transportation go together like biscuits and gravy.
Or chicken and waffles, depending on the neighborhood.
(Sombrero Hat tip to Alejandro Leal for teaching me how to say "cheap political pandering" in Spanish.)
