...second installment of results, announced on Wednesday, President Hamid Karzai extended his lead over his top challenger, former Foreign Minister Abdullah Abdullah. After a dead heat the first day, he now stands at nearly 45% of the vote vs. 35% for Abdullah. Eager as Afghans and media outlets are for fresh information, the figures still reflect only 17% of the more than 27,000 polling sites nationwide. Moreover, they were drawn from less than half of the country's 34 provinces. As a result, even as some observers posit a Karzai victory, it's still hard to gauge where...

This year's federal deficit is the result of declining revenue - people are making less money so they're paying less in taxes - and increased spending. So far, the government has spent $530 billion more this year than it did last year, a number that includes $169 billion for the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP), $125 billion for the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act and $83 billion to bail out Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. And that doesn't even account for the spending scheduled for next year. Add to this the projected $1 trillion price tag of Obama...
