...since the resignation of the program’s director in July—followed by the exit of the assistant director at the beginning of this month—little effort has been made to find permanent leadership, and there are no plans for a search until there is a permanent Dean of the College. And while much feedback on the current administration’s performance has been positive, long-standing concerns about the job security of preceptors, their pay, and class sizes remain unresolved...
...authorities are certainly taking care to manage the dissemination of the election results. Pakistan's Election Commission has released new rules prohibiting journalists from reporting on results or exit polls on election day; only tallies announced by the Election Commission can be reported. The government has prohibited exit polls, saying that they "create chaos, are misleading and give rise to rumors." Of course, they can also be a reliable check on election results.

...Reports of a Christian conservative takeover of the GOP have been exaggerated. While the evangelical right is a key part of the Republican coalition, it's not decisive - certainly not in a swing state. Sixty percent of Missouri voters in the Republican exit poll said they attend church least once a week. Even more - 76% - said abortion should be illegal. Yet the winner was not the first choice of evangelical Protestants opposed to abortion. Conservative Christians buoyed Mike Huckabee to a strong second-place, but Huck's inability to reach beyond that base left him an also...
