You know that during Hillary's term we're going to amend the consistitution so Bill can come on back in, don't you?

...it struck me that the Republicans are now very much in the position Dems were in back in the 70s, where their primaries really are run by some pretty hard-core ideologues...
And this unlike the current Dems how?

Maybe someone who knows more about Pakistan can tell me whether the way the government has treated Bhutto during the recent crackdown was a way to strengthen her by giving her cred. Before the state of emergency, Musharraf and Bhutto were understood to be working together.

I never heard that she did that the first time around, but maybe she's been taking leadership tips from Dick Cheney or the Khmer Rouge.

I thought the whole "working together" thing was falling apart once she stepped off of the plane, almost got blown up and then began to allude to the possibility that the bomb was planted by the government?

And then the house arrest. But all of this makes me wonder whether he's letting her pose as more of an opponent of the government than she is. It's not like he's going to win a popular election. So who is he trying to set up?

He's banned the opposition parties from holding rallies and he sacked the supreme court. I would think that he could likely "win" the election and state that even when faced with "opposition" he was the victor.
