...Pennsylvania Democratic primary, and even then, may still not know with certainty until late in the summer. Between now and then, the campaigns of Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama have a responsibility to the millions of Democrats who have participated in the election to maintain a basic level of civility.

Even more stunning: the ruling alliance lost power in four of Malaysia's 13 states. Before the polls, only one state, Kelantan, was controlled by the opposition. By the time the dust settled on Saturday, three heartland states-Kedah, Perak and Kelantan-along with manufacturing-based states Selangor and Penang were all in the hands of the opposition.
