    The Curiously Discreet Candidate

    It would appear that the 2008 presidential elections will most likely hinge not on the stances candidates have assured their voters they have publicly taken on any given issue, but on the stances voters hope their candidates are already sworn to in secret.

    The Underestimated Power of Shame

    "Think twice about what you are going to say, especially if you are going to say what you're thinking." So goes the old adage. This advice is a caution that seems to garner very little support in an era when airing one's dirty laundry in public is considered a noble gesture
