...party are more trusted by voters. Any hope the Republicans may have had of regaining many of the staggering 80% of voters who think the country is on the wrong track has gone right off the cliff. McCain's best hope in the economic crisis is for voters to seek his Washington experience. His gambit to become a powerful voice for a solution could pay dividends--if it works. Obama now has a permanent backdrop from which to argue for change and link McCain with President Bush. Temperamentally, Obama might just be the most even-keeled presidential candidate...
...stubbornly resistant to Lula's ministrations. Official corruption remains rampant; Lula blames a fetid political culture "that has been there for centuries," but that's an old excuse. One of his election promises was to clean up Brazilian politics, and with two years to go--rules forbid him to seek a third consecutive term--he'll have to start wielding the broom vigorously. The education system, despite increased funding and access, is still an embarrassment: Brazilian students continue to score at the bottom on international math and reading tests.

What we seek is a leader who can size up a problem, explain it in a way that seems both true and hopeful and match the nation's priorities to its needs. Here's the crisis - which man is up to it? They have a month left to give us their answers...
...Nobel Peace Prize for his efforts to increase awareness about the impact of climate change. The University-wide target follows a series of recent, more local pledges to reduce greenhouse gas emissions at Harvard. Last December, the Faculty of Arts and Sciences announced it would seek to reduce its emissions to 11 percent below 1990 levels by 2020. A few months earlier, Harvard entered into a binding agreement with Massachusetts to keep future carbon emissions from its Allston campus at 30 percent of the national standard for a similar project in exchange for a potentially speedier approval process for campus...
