Is this the saving face of the Republican Party?
Indian-American, Rhodes scholar, Governor of Lousiana, and a state health secretary at the tender age of 24, Bobby Jindal upsets every stereotyping apple cart. For the 2012 GOP nomination for president (if he runs early) Jindal in the complete antithesis of Sarah Palin.
He is already setting his [...]

Close but no cigar. I almost predicted the exact electoral college result in the US presidential election.
The Obama surge across middle America even picked up North Carolina (Republican since Carter in 1976) and Indiana (Republican since Johnson in 1964), but failed narrowly to win Missouri.

While still in Thailand I received this alarming or alarmist group email (depending on your perspective) from America. I’m stuck in Thailand for a few more days so does anyone know if there was anything new to come out of the show or was it just a Fox beat-up?

Every few years I honour a personal tradition of sitting down and working out who Americans are going to elect to the ‘Big House’. One month out, that time has come again and here is what I have come up with.
Given that a lot of water is yet to go under the bridge, I’ll whet [...]
