The Danish Left's Strange Alliance With Radical Muslims If Asmaa Abdol-Hamid is elected to the Danish Parliament in today’s national election, she will become the first MP in Denmark to wear the hijab. Pajamas Xpress blogger Flemming Rose contends that a woman who refuses to shake hands with men doesn’t share the fundamental values of Danish society.

Hillary Stumbles, Rudy And Fred Struggle Hillary Clinton’s status as clear Democratic frontrunner is beginning to fade, as she heads into a dead heat in Iowa and PJM prognosticator William Bradley looks ahead to a week where she’ll gamble on restoring her status in a Las Vegas debate. On the Republican side, the problem isn’t what Rudy Giuliani and Fred Thompson have done - but what their friends Bernie Kerik and Philip Martin have been up to and how the candidates deal with it.

The Problem of Musa Qala: Afghanistan's Terror University Town PJM Kabul: British forces are trying to figure out how to clear the Taliban out of Musa Qala in southern Afghanistan, looking to replicate the success of US commanders in Iraq’s western province to split Sunni tribal leaders from al-Qaeda. Nasim Fekrat examines whether their approach will work, or whether they are walking too softly and not carrying a big enough stick.

'Dirty Girl' and the Pornization of Dutch Society PJM Groningen: It takes a lot to provoke moral outrage in extremely liberal Dutch society, writes Michael Van Der Galiën, but two rappers have managed it by producing an unabashedly pornographic music video that is running on mainstream television music channels.

Week 43 in Progress Over 130,000 votes have been cast in the weekly PAJAMAS MEDIA PRESIDENTIAL STRAW POLL. The thirty-ninth week has officially begun.

NEW DEAL: Pajamas Media editors have noted that the number of weekly votes in our poll has diminished drastically from the tens of thousands cast at the outset. For months now, many readers have been complaining to us about the increasing inutility of the poll because of vote-swarming by second tier candidates. Many voters have lost interest and are not participating. Websites that had run our widget were no longer doing so.

Something needed to change.

Therefore, especially since the campaign itself appears to be narrowing its focus to front-running candidates, henceforth the Pajamas Media Poll will be restricted to those first tier candidates listed on the front poll page of the leading online poll aggregator Real Clear Politics. As of now, that is four candidates on the Democratic side and six on the Republican. We will change our lineup on the Sunday after RCP does, if it does.

DON’T FORGET: You can put the poll on your website or blog with our free voting widget and become a precinct in the Pajamas Media Straw Poll. Learn how the readers of your site are voting and compare it the the total.
