Little mentioned on campaign trail, poverty widening in US
From the Boston Globe

Johnson launched his war against it. New Census Bureau estimates are expected to be released this week, and even a small two-tenths tick upward would push the 2011 rate to its highest level since 1965.

From the Washington Post
Less than half of public school students nationwide who are white attend institutions where many children need free or reduced-price lunches. Significantly more students of other races and ethnicities attend such schools.
Romney Endorses Immigration Hardliner, Drawing Criticism from Obama Camp
From Fox News Latino
Immigration is once again fueling a clash between the presidential candidates, as the Barack Obama campaign takes GOP candidate Mitt Romney to task for his endorsement of a Midwestern immigration hardliner. Romney endorsed Rep. Steve King (R-IA) at a campaign event on Friday.
"This man needs to be your congressman again," Romney said of King on Friday. "I want him as my partner in Washington D.C." The Obama campaign took Romney to task over the endorsement, accusing him of not standing up to "the most strident voices in his party."
