...Beinart refers to a poll indicating that many white voters who lack college degrees would not vote for Obama because he is too "globalized," too "multicultural," too "cosmopolitan." I have news for Beinart. Many of the emigrants from the U.S.S.R. who came to the U.S. in the '70s and '80s support John McCain. A lot of us have undergraduate or graduate degrees.

...vote amid allegations of irregularities and vote-rigging. The margin wasn't large enough, though, for him to claim total victory and a run-off was scheduled two weeks later against the runner-up, Nasheed. Gayoom launched blistering attacks on his opponent's credibility, pointing to his lack of experience and claiming he was trying to convert Maldivians to Christianity - a weighty accusation in this staunchly Sunni Muslim state.
