does Raul Grijalva sort of remind you of

a hispanic Ron Dellums? That's how I sort of think of him as. Do you guys agree?

[Dgov]

You mean as a highly provocative, race-tinged sort of legislator, just for Hispanics instead of Blacks?  Sort of.  Grijalva is certainly on Dellum's level of race-based politics, but the fact that his district is fairly competitive handicaps him the way Oakland-based Dellums never had to deal with.  Almost losing in a Hispanic-majority district to a Tea Partier seems to have taken Grijalva down a notch, and he hasn't done anything newsworthy since calling for a boycott of his own state.

Actually, it was just the first thing I thought of when I thought about Raul Grijalva and his giant moustache.
