...Sandinista leader wins, Washington in many ways will simply be reaping the fruits of its own neglect. Nicaragua emerged from the contra war an economic basket case, and despite having played such a major role in fueling that conflict, the U.S. has not done enough to help the country back onto its feet. Nicaragua may simply be echoing the theme playing out all over Latin America right now, where U.S.-backed capitalist reforms have failed to reverse an epic gap between rich and poor, prompting voters to turn to leftists like Chavez. Seeing little to like in their immediate future...
...other words, the controversy took a local race and--through YouTube's free distribution--nationalized it. The Democrats, whose holy grail has been to nationalize the midterms, owe Limbaugh a fruit basket. (The flap probably had less effect in Missouri, where the ads would have got notice anyway.)

...poor. We deplore child labor, fight any temptation to treat children as commodities. But if a father is thrilled that his son gets a better chance, is that his right? Parents have forever sent their children away in hopes of a better life, sent their Moses afloat in a basket down the river to be found, if God smiles, by Pharoah's daughter. Moral instinct tells us that a father's love counts for something; taking a baby away to be raised even in a splendor does violence to the bonds that define who we are. But is that instinct...
