...screwed up" after Tom Daschle had to stand down. With the help of a 70% approval rating, Obama even turned a profit on the transaction: See, he's big enough to admit mistakes, the commentariat cheered. It would help his rescue team if the bailed-out bankers followed his lead, stepped up, helped out, for we are in a race against chaos and Obama can't afford a populist headwind. But instead they dodge and weave and work the system, and the parade of titans called to account before congressional committees say things like "I am not in a position...

This time, the right-wing party managed to narrow Funes' early lead in the polls by painting him, often maliciously, as a puppet of the more radical Latin left led by Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez.
