David Sedaris, on undecided voters:

Powell’s words about McCain were gratuitous at best. Bet Papa Bush is pissed. Powell’s statements about Muslim prejudice, exhibited extensively by many [...]

The Supreme Court is siding with Ohio’s top elections official in a dispute with the state Republican Party over voter registrations.

Or is he just stupid?
From economist Dean Baker:
