I have a young visitor (30 something) from Germany this week. Finding her surprisingly up-to-date on our democratic primary, I asked her where she has been getting her information. She referred me to a German newspaper that has an English edition. I refer you to this excellent article. It will give you an idea of […]

Ralph Nader has officially stepped up to be the “spoiler” in yet another election:
