...George H.W. Bush learned, you can't run for President pretending to be one thing and succeed in office as someone else (Bush ran as a viciously negative, antitax populist instead of the thoughtful, tax-raising moderate that he actually was). Romney reminds me a bit of Bush the Elder. He seems very intelligent. His candidacy had real potential. But I don't think Romney believes a word he says on any of the red-meat issues that he's been using to bludgeon his opponents. Which is why he says those things only on television, where he doesn...
...Presidential Campaigns and American Self Images. Sometimes deals are made - as in 2004, when Dennis Kucinich, lacking viability, threw his support behind John Edwards (this year, he's getting behind Barack Obama). Those bargains are tenuous, though, and as unpredictable as the caucus-goers themselves.

...race for the party leadership, it is not yet certain that Zuma will in fact become President of the country when Mbeki's term expires - despite the fact that the ANC's electoral majority remains unassailable. Although he has now attained pole position in the race to succeed Mbeki, Zuma would be barred from standing for President if he is convicted of corruption before the election.

...failure of South Africa's President Thabo Mbeki to be reelected leader of the African National Congress is a dramatic indicator of how far the ruling party's leadership has strayed from its liberation struggle roots. In a stunning repudiation of the Mbeki era, the man who succeeded Nelson Mandela at the helm of the organization won the support of only 39% of the 3,900 delegates to the party congress, compared with 60% for the populist former Deputy President Jacob Zuma. And this while Zuma, 65, still faces corruption charges in the South African courts. The result leaves President...
