...hear Mike Huckabee tell it on the trail, tonight's Iowa caucus is about so much more than just his own political future. It is a contest that will determine whether or not the American dream continues to flourish and whether or not money still controls the system. "If America can elect me as President, then it means the dreams of this country can still come true for anybody," he told an overflow crowd, this afternoon, at his final campaign stop here...

In a situation like this, the Russian people are reduced to pawns with very little free choice. When threats, indoctrination and dishonesty are allowed to flourish, even a fake democracy loses the ability to maintain its disguise. The events of the past week would be absurd but, tellingly, they did not shock many. President Putin, hiding in the Kremlin and protected by favorable public opinion, has had a crucial opponent arrested for taking part...
