...With cabinet members loyal to Mbeki likely also to resign, analysts predict that parliament would most likely convene to elect a caretaker government until elections can be held next year. Some suggested that Zuma, who is not a member of parliament, would not serve in a transitional administration and would most likely assume power only after the elections. Although Mbeki has been a lame duck ever since Zuma wrested the ANC leadership from him at last December's party leadership conference, Saturday's move to accelerate Mbeki's ouster has raised fears of growing instability in Africa's largest economy...

...camp something it could hardly have hoped for a few days ago: a reason to cancel Bush's speech on the opening day of the party's coronation of his successor. The President, with favorability ratings stuck below 30% for months, may be popular in the convention hall with loyal GOP soldiers. But with the Democrats doing everything they can to paint McCain's candidacy as a third term of Bush, the President is the last person McCain wants as the party's face going into the fall campaign...
