Nobody expects that Italian politics can be renewed in the arc of a single election campaign. But we have to acknowledge a plain fact: that a political system so prone to manipulation and myopia is incompatible with an advanced democracy. Is it an advanced democracy if scores of local city councils have been dissolved in recent years because they had been infiltrated by the Mafia? Or where 3,100 people have been killed...

Indeed, not only does Obama still trail the New York Senator by 4 percentage points, according to a Real Clear Politics average of Ohio polls, but amongst union voters he trails her 56% to 34% in the latest Cleveland Plain Dealer poll, conducted February 27-29. Either way, Obama can already claim one crucial victory; by effectively splitting labor's endorsements with Clinton, he has prevented her from solidifying what was supposed to be a reliable part of her base...
