More border news.

We are sorry that we are a little behind on our border fence story. If you would like news about the border there are two excellent new stories. The American Border Patrol site has a new report on the status of the border fence. Lots of aerial photos from Google Earth and a map of the fence in California and Arizona.

Over at the more moderate BorderReporter.com lots in coverage of drug busts inside Mexico. I guess someone went too far and is paying a price.

We do plan on continuing our on the ground coverage of the border fence.

McCain distant 3rd in PA.

Strategic Vision is out with a new poll showing McCain a poor 3rd place in Pennsylvania (see question 11.) He is not doing much better in Michigan where he is also tied for 3rd. He holds the same slot in Ohio. There they break out the results by sex. Looking at men he stays in third place because they all go for Thompson. With women McCain is in second place because they go for Rudy and take a pass on Fred.

Espresso Pundit hits the nail on the head:

“He was designed for a constituency that doesn’t exist.  He’s a pro-life, hawk war hero who opposed Bush’s tax cuts, supports stem cell research and amnesty.  He supports legislation defining marriage as one man and one women at the state level…but opposes it at the federal level.  He’s with Bush on Iraq, Kennedy on immigration, Lieberman on guns, Feingold on campaign finance and the gang of 14 on Judicial Nominations.”
