The World Votes
By Staff, theworldvotes.org
Imagine if the entire world could vote in the American Presidential Election? Seems unfair, at first, unless one thinks of all the people affected by the policies advanced by the President of the United States. Such is the premise of the website The World Votes, where so far, 203 Africans, 569 Asians, 335 Australians, 6666 Europeans, 733 South Americans, and 1950 North Americans have registered to vote by electronic ballot. Results will be available after November 2nd. -- Elizabeth Dwoskin

What is a Progressive, Anyway?
By Christa Westerberg, Fightingbob.com
Since editorialist David Brooks coined the term 'progressive conservatism' for his editorial in The New York Times Magazine a few weeks ago (the party of tax subsidies and corporate welfare should become the party of limited, but 'energetic' government), the jury is out on what exactly the term progressive means. From interviews, it seems that 'progressives' are barely united by a belief that government should do something for people, but that this belief is not necessarily partison. -- Elizabeth Dwoskin
