I have noticed a distinct increase in letters dealing favorably with Obama’s programs in my local paper here in Hunterdon county NJ. They are often countered by well written and sometimes angry views of the other side.
The paper is a liberal weekly and part of a chain of similar papers, so they print an even number of both sides even though the county is the most Republican and conservative in New Jersey.
I pay 75 cents every week and scan the letters to the editor looking for the good ones. It's nice to see letters from that one guy in Annandale... (I am forgetting his name... Dan Popa?) that hits the nail on the head with paragraph he writes.
For a while the letters to the editor was a back and forth argument between Chris Lido and the anti-hunters.
This week, Old Ink was more entertaining.
