Democracy in Action: Islamists take a beating in Pakistan

In a show of strong democratic action Pakistan is unseating its military and religious fanatics. While this isn’t entirely what our current administration might be hoping for it is good to see that the religious fringes are also seeing losses.

Islamist parties in the volatile Northwest Frontier Province of Pakistan have long had great influence in the region. They lost their seats on Monday to secular, anti-religious parities. Steve Inskeep talks to Tarek Fatimi, a former Pakistani ambassador to the United States, about the implications of the vote.

Personality vs. Position

Good post on the Presidential Elections and how personality is what most people consider when voting. The title is a bit misleading though as I thought he was going to talk about who the best candidate for business is going to be. Instead he talks about how important your personality is for your business and ways to work on it.

There is also an exercise where you put in what you feel the various candidates personalities are. Here is what I came up with:
Democrats Dominant Personality Trait
Hillary Clinton __Regal / Entitled___
Barack Obama __Confident __
John Edwards __Light Hearted___

Republicans Dominant Personality Trait
John McCain ___Condicending__
Mitt Romney ____Fake___
Rudy Giuliani ____Mean_____
Mike Huckabee ____Aloof_____

If you cant tell I am an Obama fan.
