Quickies- Sweet 16 Edition

  • The Fold Blog will be spending the weekend in St. Louis watching the NCAA Sweet 16.
  • All accounts suggest the bullet found in Rep. Eric Cantor's office was a case of random gunfire. It seems someone shot a gun into the air and it came back to earth on Cantor's office. Slightly different than what Cantor led people to believe yesterday.
  • David Frum is out at AEI for what appears to be backlash over calling HCR the GOP's Waterloo. And we wonder why Republicans don't break ranks???
  • A new poll on tea baggers is out and it looks interesting. 77% say they are Republican, a majority claim to be women, 88% are white, and they love them some Sarah Palin. I'm still waiting on a poll that breaks down tea bagger employment. My guess is 20% or so are either paid by tax dollars, are on some sort of government assistance such as Medicare, unemployment benefits or disability. I would love to see a poll that gets to the heart of their so-called movement.
