...last challenger to unseat an incumbent President, Bill Clinton, ran on the axiom that it's "the economy, stupid." He won, but that does not make the assumption - that Presidents control the economy - any less fictitious. They do not. The idea that they do, the central motif of most every presidential election, is crazy...
Polls consistently show that Americans prefer their leaders to be religious, and in running to unseat the most openly devout President in recent years, Kerry has at times put a pious cast on his own rhetoric. In a speech at a Mississippi church on March 7, he said Bush does not practice the "compassionate conservatism" he preaches, and quoted James 2: 14, "What good is it, my brothers, if a man claims to have faith but has no deeds...

An official inquiry into the suicide last year of government weapons expert David Kelly had produced widespread expectations that some blame would attach to the Prime Minister, perhaps enough to unseat him. On the one hand, Blair and his government were comprehensively cleared by the inquiry's report. On the other, the exoneration was so total that it may create problems for Blair by leaving his detractors unmoved. One poll showed that 50% of the British public was unconvinced...
