This week’s column

By Jennifer J. Foster

In case you missed it in Saturday’s edition of the Opelika-Auburn News or if you live outside the print delivery area, my most recent column is now on the web. Check it out:

Ivey’s attack on Davis goes beyond puzzling

The column is getting a lot of good feedback from folks in the blogosphere. I don’t consider that a reflection of my work so much as a crystal-clear indication of how fed up with partisan politics people are. It’s actually amazing to me that candidates continue to operate in that partisan vacuum.

I do a lot of research when writing my columns, and this week was no exception. In light of the content this week, thought it particularly relevant to share some of these links with you:
