...Has anyone noticed the irony of Arizona House Speaker Jim Weiers and his cohorts wanting Governor Napolitano to call a special session of the legislature to find funding for 500 school vouchers, but want to spend millions of dollars to avoid funding ELL education for more that 130,000 students? Yes, I know that other have covered this before, but the story just hasn't died down (apparently Weiers may be serious about this - as opposed to just engaging in a little election-year posturing.)
...The McCain campaign can deny it all that they want, but all indications are that they've written off any hope of winning over any African-American voters. As such, there is no need for them to maintain even a pretense of civility.
From Florida Capital News (emphasis mine) -
McCain security ousts reporter
Tallahassee Democrat senior writer Stephen Price on Friday was singled out and asked to leave a media area at the Panama City rally of presidential candidate Sen. John McCain
Price was among at least three other reporters, and the only black reporter, surrounding McCain's campaign bus — Gov. Charlie Crist and his fiancee, Carole Rome, were already aboard — when a member of the Arizona senator's security detail asked the reporter to identify himself. Price had shown his media credentials to enter the area.

When another reporter asked why Price was being removed, she too was led out of the area. Other state reporters remained.
Thanks to jobsanger for the heads-up on this story.
