A thought provoking interview with former President Carter on Fresh Air today...
Including the fact that the Carter Center, which monitors elections for many countries around the world, if hypothetically asked, would not agree to monitor US elections, because our elections don't meet the basic criteria for fair elections.

Rove is the ultimate master in negative politics in modern-day America," said Marshall Whittman, former aide to Republican Senator John McCain. Mr. Whittman later switched parties and is now a senior fellow with the Democratic Leadership Council, a think tank.
