Marco Polo: November 4: What The Math Tells Us
http://marcopoloreviewofbooks.blogspot.com/2008/10/november-4-what-math-tells-us.html
October 29, 2008. November 4: What The Math Tells Us. As we wrote two weeks ago. The race is indeed tightening, but any forecast about the Presidential and Congressional elections of next Tuesday must be based not on the last maneuvering of the candidates, but on long-term political trends. All the more so, given the fact that an important fraction of the electorate already cast their ballots. Particularly in the West and in the South, where the opposite should have happened. The answer is: "No, at this ...

Marco Polo: Paulson: "I didn't have the authority for anything"
http://marcopoloreviewofbooks.blogspot.com/2008/11/paulson-i-didnt-have-authority-for.html
November 19, 2008. Paulson: "I didn't have the authority for anything". It's nice to discover that our analysis of the blatantly. Taken by Secretary Paulson. Is shared, somehow late, by The Washington Post. During his 28 months at the Treasury, Paulson. Has filled the void with his 6-foot-1 frame, summoning the rest of Washington and Wall Street to get in line. Even if you don't have the authorities - and frankly I didn't have the authorities for anything - if you take charge, people will follow," Paulson.

Marco Polo: Have Champagne, Break the Glasses (But Keep a Couple of Aspirins at Hand)
http://marcopoloreviewofbooks.blogspot.com/2008/11/have-champagne-break-glasses-but-keep.html
November 4, 2008. Have Champagne, Break the Glasses (But Keep a Couple of Aspirins at Hand). The polls opened in Indiana a few minutes ago, and in about 18 hours (because of different time zones) they will close. My prediction is that we will know the result of this record-breaking presidential election early, maybe very early. Wipe clean the slate of history and begin again from scratch," as John Judis. Congress could, and would, pass legislation in order to give health care to children, but only if Big...

Marco Polo: Democracy, the Treasury and the Federal Reserve
http://marcopoloreviewofbooks.blogspot.com/2008/10/democracy-treasury-and-federal-reserve.html
October 25, 2008. Democracy, the Treasury and the Federal Reserve. As the financial crisis unfolds, it may be important to discuss not only various technical solutions to the current mess, but also what the recent events tell us about the functioning of "democracy" in Washington, DC. . I put "democracy" into quotation marks because it appears that the long decline of Congress relevance vis-à-vis the President, the Treasury, and the Federal Reserve has now possibly reached a non-return point. We have just...

http://marcopoloreviewofbooks.blogspot.com/2008/11/do-team-of-rivals-work-in-long-run.html
November 22, 2008. Do "Teams of Rivals" Work in The Long Run? With the almost-certain appointment of Hillary Clinton as secretary of State, Barack Obama seems indeed decided to imitate Abraham Lincoln, who "pulled in all the people who had been running against him into his Cabinet," as Obama himself has summarized the thesis of Doris Kearns. Goodwin's book on the Lincoln presidency, "Team of Rivals" (look at the cover on our right bar). For the Los Angeles Times. Managing Editor Joseph Medill. In fairnes...
