Guessing the fate of Northern Rock is no less popular right now than guessing that of Chancellor of the Exchequer Alistair Darling. When Brown picked him as his successor as finance minister last June, Darling's closeness to Brown was his strength. Dependable, gaffe-free (and, like the Prime Minister, a Scot), Darling was a safe bet at the Treasury. Much less so now. Recent controversies over changes to Britain's capital gains tax, and plans to tax non-domiciled foreigners living in the U.K., have heaped criticism on Darling. And the strung-out - and fruitless - search for a buyer...
...While Musharraf is not running - he was re-elected president by the National Assembly in October - his fate is still very much reflected in the fate of his Pakistan Muslim League Qaid party, a faction that split from Sharif's party after Musharraf, then a general, overthrew the then Prime Minister in a 1999 coup.

Biocchi ’08 and John D. Kapusta ’09, and Fiordiligi and Ferrando, portrayed by Cavallaro and Noah Van Niel ’08 respectively. In Saturday night’s performance, Cavallaro overcame...
Dissension among Republicans runs so deep, about the only thing that could bring them together is Hillary Clinton; the mainstream media's myopic focus on the Democratic race might, in other cycles, be frustrating to Republicans - this year, however, the choice of the Democratic nominee might well decide the fate of the entire election. Some Republicans recognize this; some are actively trying to keep the focus on the Democrats as a ploy to unite a fractured party.
