...things around. National issues coincided with state issues. "The campaign has seized upon this equivalence between Michigan's problems and the nation's to explain away his losses in New Hampshire and Iowa. "Michigan is a microcosm of America," says Madden, implying that the earlier, and more influential, states shop for boutique candidates. Apparently South Carolina falls into that category as well, since Romney will likely bypass Saturday's primary in order to dominate the little-noticed Nevada Republican caucus...

It is the tackiest, strangest circus attraction this side of Vegas. A Starbucks-like coffee shop with baristas from Madras sells cappuccinos in the main rotunda. Heavy blast-proof doors - identical to those at U.S. embassies around the world - are fitted into the regal marble lintels Saddam built...
