Before the immigration blow-up at Polipundit I loved to read Jayson Javitz, as he seems so well informed about politics and tells it the way it is.

Today he has a column up at Wizbang that is a must read.

Here’s the introduction:

First things first: If you would have told me six months ago — hell, one month ago — that Clinton would be fighting for her political life against Obama, I would have said: “I’ll have what your smoking.”

“There’s no way,” I would have continued, “that the most ruthless politician since ‘Landslide’ Lyndon Johnson would allow a newbie Senator to end her presidential obsessions.”

Well, despite losing New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts *and* California(!), Obama has the same coin flip chance as Clinton to obtain the Democrat nomination. Which raises two questions: 1. How did this happen? 2. What are Obama’s chances in the Nov. general election?

Read the rest as it isn’t very long and it makes so much sense. I still love you, Jayson, even if you did put me on probation.

   If ever I wanted the real deal when it came to politics I would search out Jayson’s pieces.

   This is another must read!

   It’s interesting that he says Blacks and Latinos don’t get along. Maybe that’s true in some places–I really don’t know. It’s interesting that when I moved to New Mexico, we had three ethnic groups: Anglos; Hispanic and Native American. Even though my ancestors came from Africa, here I was classified as “Anglo.” Maybe this is the only state where Blacks and Whites are lumped into one ethnic group (popular culture; not for census purposes).

   David,

   I think he makes the distinction of saying blacks and hispanics don’t get along politically. Not being around a lot of hispanics I couldn’t tell you.
