...flooded their economy with spending; and many have had the opportunity to see several of the candidates in person. Voters in states with later primaries, on the other hand, receive none of these benefits. Montana and South Dakota have their primaries on June 3rd this year, which means votes cast in those states will almost certainly be irrelevant. These voters are effectively disenfranchised, and are unlikely to receive attention from the candidates before the party conventions. This inequality is unfair and undemocratic. According to a November National Bureau of Economic Research working paper, earlier voters can have...
...assassination and the ascension of her 19-year-old son and husband to the leadership of her Pakistan Peoples Party is just the latest chapter—there is no clear path forward. Bhutto was, at most, the best of several mediocre alternatives. Her assassination should not cast her political career in a rosier light. Yet the past week has seen the continual distortion of Bhutto’s life by politicians and media desperate to make her death fit their agenda. Musharraf’s government has sought to deflect criticism by denying an autopsy and investigation and blaming...

...crimes--a concept that continues to bog down juries and judges a generation later. Other veterans of the Supreme Court's long struggle with capital punishment have also soured on the experiment. Justice Lewis Powell told a biographer that the vote he most regretted was the one he cast in 1987 to save capital punishment. Another member of the five-Justice majority in that case, Sandra Day O'Connor, told a group of Minnesotans not long ago that they should "breathe a big sigh of relief every day" that their state doesn't have the death penalty. Justice John Paul...
Iowans will cast the most feverishly contested votes in the strange, 35-year history of the state's presidential caucuses tonight, and what makes the conclusion of this lengthy and expensive first chapter of the 2008 campaign most remarkable is that absolutely no one has any idea about the outcome...
