...Beinart refers to a poll indicating that many white voters who lack college degrees would not vote for Obama because he is too "globalized," too "multicultural," too "cosmopolitan." I have news for Beinart. Many of the emigrants from the U.S.S.R. who came to the U.S. in the '70s and '80s support John McCain. A lot of us have undergraduate or graduate degrees.

And he does continue to have some public support. Despite the large Taipei rally, poll results show that a majority of Taiwan's population approve of parts of Ma's China policies, such as direct transportation links. "Ma will be more cautious" in the wake of the large rally, says Yang Tai-shuenn, a political science professor at Taiwan's Chinese Culture University. However, "the only...
...against Lampson as a closet liberal out of step with the district's conservative voters. Meanwhile, the Democrats have poured money into Lampson re-election efforts-the latest numbers from the Federal Election Commission showed him with about $900,000 on hand, roughly triple what Olson has left.
