- No surprises in Sunday’s Univision Republican debate. If the blogosphere is talking about it at all, it’s talking about the man who didn’t show. Tom Tancredo, arguably the most outspoken on immigration of the Republican candidates, chose not to participate in the debate held in front of one of the audiences most sympathetic to immigrants that the candidates may face. [The Economist, Democracy in America]
- Also on the Debate: Mark Kirkorian at The Corner calls out the blatant classification that all Hispanics think and act alike.
- Among other issues, Giuliani defended his enlistment of the NYPD to act as chauffeur for his then-girlfriend Judith Nathan on Meet the Press this weekend. He also caused controversy with his statements on homosexuality. [YouTube via Andrew Sullivan] AND Brendan Nyhan says Russert spent too much time on ethics (note the fun pie graph). [via Matt Yglesias]
- Star power is all the rage on the campaign trail these days, as Mark points out (blogging from Croatia, that lucky guy). Hillary Clinton’s campaign isn’t standing idly by.
- Chris Dodd is playing the “electability” card, per Politico’s Smith.
- A thoughtful, new take on the meaning of Al Gore’s Nobel Prize from Roger Alford at OpinioJuris.
