...post-election madness focused out of necessity on the interpreting of votes, and there the voters have a responsibility too. Does the Votomatic really pose such an obstacle? However a voter made up his mind, however much attention he paid, is it unreasonable to ask him to perform a few simple tasks, hopefully culminating in an understanding of why a punch card works best when it's punched...

But not Cheney - in the space of the last five years, he fearlessly gained 40 pounds, displaying a trencherman?s appetite for life and an admirable disdain for cardiologists and Surgeon Generals whining about moderation.

Despite Sharon's substantial lead in the polls, the election remains too close to call: Many of the smaller parties have no direct stake in an election exclusively for the post of prime minister, and even if their supporters answer pollsters' questions, they may not actually make it to the polls on election day. But after harsh police action against Israeli-Arabs protesting in support of Palestinians earlier this year, Barak will be unable to count on their votes this time...
