Quotes
Of the top 10 issues that Gallup identified, two are not even mentioned on either candidate's website: number two on the list (with 87% of Americans believing it "extremely or very important") -- "reducing corruption in the federal government," and number nine (with 76%) -- "overcoming political gridlock." More important than terrorism, the deficit, schools or social security, Americans want "corruption" to end. More important than tax reform, or affordable access to college, Americans want "gridlock" to end. Yet neither campaign thinks it necessary to even mention these top priorities. - [|Lawrence Lessig]

The chattering class likes to divide America into the left side and the right side. But the most important division in politics today is between the inside and the outside. - [|Lawrence Lessig]

The language of American politics is about to undergo a huge change and the only question is whether leadership will catch up with that change in language and understanding or whether the gulf will grow. - Bruce Shapiro, [|2011 in Review]

For one Chinese citizen, following the US polls had a certain voyeuristic thrill. "For us, the US presidential election is the same as watching an [adult] movie," he wrote on the popular Sina Weibo microblog service, "we cannot participate, but we are willing to stare at it." - []
