...Obama Effect The media make much ado about the so-called Bradley effect [Nov. 3]. And it doesn't take a genius to see that John McCain and Sarah Palin have counted on this racial motivation to help them overcome the consequences of their poorly run campaign.

"Obama's an enigma to us," said one Israeli official. "We're trying to figure out what his victory means...

...most important economic entities in the world, and with the ongoing financial crisis, people want someone who can lead the U.S. out of the pit," said Mr. Li, the editor of a Chinese newspaper with a degree in international relations from Beijing University.
