Turnaround

NP: John Cage, 4'33"

Last week I noted how there might have been a language-barrier-induced blind spot in the Obama campaign regarding the Latino vote. The premise was that Obama's people might not have had a good read on what was being said on Spanish-language talk radio, and subsequently not doing enough to counter the pervasive misperceptions.

In the space of a week, it seems like they're now on top of that, thanks to the Ted Kennedy endorsement.

I still think the Hispanic vote was shaping up to be Obama's Achilles Heel, so if you believe the narrative that traces Kennedy's endorsement back to his concern over Bill Clinton's comments leading up to and immediately following the South Carolina primary, somebody is going to be sleeping on the couch for quite a while.
