...Countdown to Change” in Boston last night. The campaign event was publicized at Harvard through the efforts of Jason Q. Berkenfeld ’11, a volunteer in the Harvard Students for Barack Obama group. Turnout by Harvard undergraduates appeared to be relatively low, though Berkenfeld said he was unsure how many were in attendance. Berkenfeld said he thinks the snow and the timing of the event may have deterred some from attending. “Sunday night, at 7:00—that’s prime Lamont time,” he added. At the event...
...think it’s a high cost.

...Only about half of Venezuela's 16 million registered voters showed up at the polls on Sunday. Low turnout was supposed to have hurt the opposition's "no" vote; but in the end it was Chavez, thought to have a reliable populist political machine at his disposal to get out the "yes" vote, who couldn't rouse his base among Venezuela's majority poor. Even that cohort, despite having benefited from Chavez's vast socialist project, backed away from his bid to solidify "21st-century socialism," which also would have put the autonomous Central Bank under his control and exerted...
