...commonly value freedom and democracy. I look to 2008 and hope that our next government is truly of the people, by the people and for the people—and that includes of, by, and for America’s youth. So go out, and cast your ballot—in the name of liberty, and for every disenfranchised young person in the world who would die for the opportunity to do so him or herself...
...resonate among practical conservatives, it is a dry sort of motivation in an election season that has produced at least two mouth-watering narratives of triumph: The historic rise of Obama, and the smaller, but still dramatic, tale of McCain's recovery from near-political death. Thus, as voters cast their ballots today, the Romney campaign must look past a mere tweak of message and hope that the bitter sniping of the last two debates and their intensely negative attacks on McCain will nudge moderate Republicans to vote in the Democratic primary and encourage conservative Republicans to look at second...
...Their only hope is to take away votes from McCain," says one Republican strategist.

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...
