...absentee-ballot returns thus far. The last time Virginia even bothered to hold a Democratic primary for the governor's mansion was 1977, and 500,000 people showed up. The state's population has doubled since then, so no one is expecting turnout that low. But when victory could mean an extra 20,000 votes, McAuliffe's and Moran's much larger GOTV machines could prove decisive - especially if they can turn out black voters who accounted for more than 30% of the vote in the 2008 presidential primary.

But as Brian Ward's 11-day job search makes clear, they can go a long way to help. Here...
...Chinese government has begun turning a cold shoulder to Western corporations hoping to cash in on its consumers. Meanwhile, corporations are paying much closer attention to the risks and hidden costs of supplying their home markets with stuff made thousands of miles away in China. None of this necessarily means an end to the extraordinarily co-dependent economic relationship that China and the U.S. in particular have built up over the past decade.
