Have Democrats caught up?
Posted By Max Brantley on Sun, Oct 29, 2006 at 5:25 AM
In the vote turnout game? The New York Times offers hope.
But, on the other hand, the LA Times lionizes Karl Rove's plan to combat the Democratic wave, including putting federal money and other resources to work.
But can Republican base votes be certain when the dominant issue of the day -- the war -- is such a disaster for the GOP. Frank Rich, as usual, puts the Bush lies and PR strategy in sharp relief.

Trump immigration protest at LR: Quick and fierce
It was not even 24 hours ago that Sophia Said, director of the Interfaith Center; City Director Kathy Webb and others decided to organize a protest today of Donald Trump's executive order that has left people from Muslim countries languishing in airports or unable to come to the US at all — people with visas, green cards,a post-doc graduate student en route to Harvard, Google employees abroad, families. I got the message today before noon; others didn't find out until it was going on. But however folks found out, they turned out in huge numbers, more than thousand men, women and children, on the grounds of the state Capitol to listen to speakers from all faiths and many countries.
