The earnest coffee mornings in Iowa homes and the packed school gyms in New Hampshire; the air wars - a relentless blitz of TV ads - in megastates such as New York and California; the retail politics as candidates tramp through slush and frozen stubble; the defining moments that summon up memories of campaigns long ago - how come it was OK for Hillary Clinton to tear up in New Hampshire when the same human...

...appointment to the chairmanship of the PPP were laid bare: here was a young man dealing with a country plagued by poverty from a boutique hotel in Kensington on behalf of a party claiming to push for democracy even as it consolidates a dynasty. The British press pack was relentless. One BBC journalist asked: "What on earth do you propose as a 19-year-old who has hardly lived in the country, what do you propose you can offer Pakistan, a country of 170 million people...
