Edwards Looks Like A Winner in South Carolina!
From the welcome he got here in Greenville, South Carolina, Edwards seems to have caught a second wind. He seemed energized by the audience. He's thinner than when I last saw him in 2004, but there is more emotional substance there. I think that this Primary fight on his home turf could be the turning point for him.

There's Room for All Socialists at Brazil's Power Table
In 2006 Lula created a stir by announcing that he is not a "socialist" but a "social democrat."

During an election season, one of the first losers is the truth. The current misinformation campaign against the FairTax has been particularly virulent.

Thompson Out? Enjoy the SchadenFred
The notion of Shamblin' Fred as the Childe Geritol of the GOP is not merely hilarious on its face, however -- though, to be sure, it is that. The episode tells us more about Greater Wingnuttia than it does about Thompson, about whom there was never much to learn, or care about. What did he ever have to offer, anyway?

Voters are being turned away from the polls, because electronic voting machines are not working and paper ballots are not available. -Move along people. Nothing to see here.
