...never won the seat, and it isn't hard to see why. Dotted with galleries and boutiques, it contains many of Sydney's wealthiest suburbs and feels like Nohopeville for a party with working-class roots. But it's more complicated than that. A redistribution since the 2004 poll has given Labor a lift, as has a perception that the sitting Member, Malcolm Turnbull, is egregiously ambitious and opportunistic even by politicians' standards. In addition, Turnbull may pay a price for being the Environment Minister in a government that has just approved a pulp mill in Tasmania's Tamar Valley...
...crowd. A "Republicans for Obama" website has 11 state chapters with 146 members. An August University of Iowa even found Obama running third in the state among Republican candidates, behind Mitt Romney and Rudy Giuliani but ahead of both Fred Thompson and John McCain. And a national Gallup poll this month also found that nearly as many Republicans like Obama - 39% - than the 43% that dislike him, compared with the 78% of Republicans who held an unfavorable opinion of Hillary Clinton...
...Musharraf's declining popularity has even begun to impinge on his ability to play the war-on-terror role for which Washington is depending on him.

"[They] do not support his recent crackdown on fundamentalists, and are lukewarm at best about going after al-Qaeda or the Taliban in western Pakistan. It appears that...

In the dining hall poll cited earlier, while only 16 percent of those surveyed aligned themselves with libertarian politics, 28 percent considered themselves to be socially liberal but fiscally conservative, a typical libertarian stance. This is a large minority to be sure, and one that could probably grow given impetus and organization...
There are empty seats at some of Barack Obama's meetings now. His media coverage isn't as breathless as it used to be. His poll numbers have been static, with the important exception of Iowa, where he is creeping upward. His performances have been static too, nourishing but unexciting. He has been more herbivore than carnivore in debates. All of which occasioned that most banal of modern journalistic ceremonies in the days leading up to the Oct. 30 Democratic debate: a fevered, unsolicited-advice orgy. None of the advice was substantive, of course. It was all about tactics...
