Heard on the Radio

Bobby Jindal announced that he would not be going to Tampa because he needed to stay in Louisiana to handle the oncoming storm.   "Certainly party conventions are interesting but there is no time for politics here in Louisiana along our coast.”

I'd say THAT is politics.  Otherwise, I'd imagine him just saying, "Well, of COURSE I'm not going to Tampa."  Did somebody really ask him whether he was going?  Or did he just hold a press conference and volunteer that information?  When a politician tells you he is rising above politics, you can bet he's politicking.

NPR's Michel Martin got Romney adviser (and black woman) Tara Wall (who IS in Tampa) on the ropes, tasted blood, and went for the knock-out. Got her punch drunk and stumbling. Somebody ought to put Michel Martin (also a black woman) on debate duty.

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
