Jan 7th
By Tom Carter An interesting Gallup poll has just been released. It measured people’s self-identification as Democrats, Republicans, and Independents. It also identified Independents who lean Democratic or lean Republican. The findings came from a combination of numerous polls, resulting in an uncommonly broad and deep sample. The nature of the sample permits an unusually small margin of error of plus-or-minus one percent. According to Gallup, 31 percent of Americans identify as Democrats, down from 36 percent just two years ago. That’s among the lowest for Democrats in many years, and it represents about a 14 percent loss in just two years. The number who identify as Republicans increased by just one percentage point from 2008 to 2010, from 28 to 29 percent. Independents increased from 35 to 38 percent in the past two years, to one of the highest levels measured in the past two decades

Nov 3rd
WASHINGTON: President Barack Obama”s Democrats faced a day of reckoning Tuesday as Americans voted in key elections likely to see Republicans seize control of the House of Representatives. Amid a wave of anger at the faltering economy, Democrats also feared heavy losses in the Senate in twin blows which could severely hamper Obama”s ability to press ahead with his agenda of reform. But analysts forecast the Democrats would cling to a narrow majority in Senate, dividing power in Washington and setting the stage for a superheated political war ahead of Obama”s 2012 reelection bid.

Sep 1st
With pundits in most capitals already predicting failure for the US-brokered Palestinian-Israeli peace talks to begin on Thursday, it seems only natural to start asking the question: “What’s next?” To get a jumpstart on what surely will be an onslaught of new, competing narratives vying for prominence in the post-peace process era, I headed to Damascus to talk to a man who has predicted the failure of this process from the start. And yet who — against all logic — has never been invited to sit at the negotiating table. Khaled Meshaal, head of Hamas’ political bureau, is an unassuming man who sauntered into our interview room unattended and chatted with me in English while we awaited his staff.
