Christie: 'Show Up' for Minorities Open up your notebooks, RNC. In an interview with Fox News Sunday, recently reelected New Jersey Governor Chris Christie ascribed his win to reaching out to minorities, saying, "I've worked hard with the Hispanic community to let them see how our policies can help their families. I've worked hard with the African-American community. I've worked hard with seniors and students." After putting up numbers in the Hispanic and black communities not seen by Republicans in years, Christie advised his fellow party-members "If you want to win a vote by that kind of margin, if you want to attract the majority of the Hispanic vote, if you want to nearly triple your African-American vote, you need to show up. You need to go into those neighborhoods, you need to campaign in places." Read it at Time OVER THE TOP 4.

The chief of the All Pakistan Private School Federation said the book contains anti-Islamic and anti-Pakistani content. Those officials are also pushing for the government to ban the books as well, arguing it is being promoted by Western governments and has inappropriately positive things to say about novelist Salman Rushdie.
