This slum doesn't have a name. The 5,000 residents call it Ban Chua Gan, which translates roughly as Do It Yourself Happy Homes. The expanse of jerry-built wood-frame huts with corrugated steel roofs sprawls in a murky bog in Bangkok's Sukhumvit district, in the shadow of 40-story office buildings and glass-plated corporate towers.

But dare we read into the recent emergence of fresh face John Edwards on the issue as one sign McCain could be ready to pass the campaign-finance torch and retire to figurehead status...
