Look at the way the letter is constructed. I promise you that this is a fax from the DNC with someone's name on the bottom. Normal folk don't call the Education Bill the "No Child Left Behind" Act. Opinion hustlers in Washington do that.

In short, a mass e-mailing designed to convince gullible editors that Latinos must stay with the Democrats. There are probably copies of this same letter with minor variations being sent out by Democratic activist women all over the country.

But it won't matter; Bush will win enough of the Latino vote to crush Dean in the Electoral College.

I've got a buddy originally from the D.R. who was never too involved with American politics. After analyzing the situation over the past few years and following major issues, he decided that he was a conservative. One of the basis for this decision was that after examining all of the positions and platforms of the Democrats, that they were morally incompatible with any of his dearest held beliefs.

I think it's something that's happening with many voters from many different demographies, not just Latinos.

So it is political pandering --- some were saying it wasn't.

Not to mention that last line about the Republican Party's shameless efforts at diluting the Latino voting block. Say what? She's upset because some Latino's are voting Republican? Good Lord.

[Wright is right!]

"Look at the way the letter is constructed. I promise you that this is a fax from the DNC with someone's name on the bottom. Normal folk don't call the Education Bill the "No Child Left Behind" Act."

Further, "soccer moms" don't use that term as a self-descriptor. Soccer-mom is a media-generated term.

In other words, you're right - it's an activist FAX or DU form letter. I've seen many of them in the local Nashville paper and have written to the editors asking them to be on the lookout for these DNC FAX and DU form letters. They won't be, of course, but I DID write them about this problemo.
