A very interesting news day, if I don’t say so myself. I don’t think there is another person that aggregates news as well as I do. Seriously, on any subject do you know a single person who collects, categorizes, tags and presents as much relevant news? - Tomás

Hit & Run > E-Verify: It’s Electronic! - (a very interesting read)

Did You Know? The social security database e-verify uses has a 4 percent error rate, though Shuler claims the overall system has an error rate of half a percent. Both of those numbers sound insignificant. Iowa Republican Steve King says “The accuracy of the e-verify system is remarkable!” and “almost perfect!” But 4 percent of 153 million workers is 6,120,000. (Half a percent is 765,000.) That’s a lot of people who will have to wrangle with the federal government before showing up at the office.

McCain, GOP Face Hispanic Tipping Point

Did You Know? Francisco “Frank” Sánchez, a former U.S. assistant secretary of transportation, was named national chair of Hispanic fundraising with a mandate “to increase the already growing enthusiasm and fundraising efforts . . . in the Hispanic community.” - For Obama

Snippet - One governor who does have the resume is New Mexico’s Bill Richardson. When he was running for president this year, many dismissed Richardson as someone simply angling to become Clinton’s VP. He did seem deferential towards her during some of the debates. So it was a shock when he endorsed Obama in late March. A sputtering Bill Clinton, who spent Super Bowl Sunday trying to get Richardson to endorse his wife, was furious. One Clinton loyalist, James Carville, likened Richardson to Judas. Picking Richardson, who is Hispanic, might be an inspired choice, but it could anger the Clinton camp. (Still, don’t rule out Richardson as the running mate.)

Snippet - Taken together, the polls suggest that Arizona is firmly behind John McCain, with a large, but not insurmountable, margin separating him from Barack Obama. Key issues in Arizona are likely to be dominated by the economy as well as immigration. With a quickly growing Hispanic population, the candidate who is able to capture this demographic will have a big advantage on election night.
