Raping Afghanistan
One thing is clear from Afghanistan: military means do not well serve social or humanitarian ends, and nor does lofty and empty rhetoric.

The un-written rules long dictated that first ladies stand by, stand behind, and, at best, stand-in for their elected spouse.

By goodness, check out all those notable women: there's Hillary, there's Janet, there's Susan, and even room for Madeline and her brilliance.

This was essentially the Mt. Vesuvius of campaign leaks. Readers and bloggers will find all kinds of stuff buried in these memos and emails and help advance the story of the campaign's great fall.

Last year, Hillary was reigning over the summer debates, shoring up claims to inevitability. Today she's stumping for Barack in Nevada, where it's 110 degrees in the shade. What a difference a summer makes.

"We do not want any Democrat, either in the hall or in the stadium or at home, walking away saying Well, you know, I'm just not satisfied. I'm not happy. Because that's what I'm trying to avoid."

As one of the senior citizens in my neighborhood says, "Obama would have to come to my house and bring Baby Jesus, and B.B. King with him, before I give a dime to that nonsense."

In the wake of recent discontent with Obama, supporters of Hillary Clinton have released a "Call To DNC Delegates" urging them to "leave fraudulent Obama in Denver" and "save the Democratic Party."

Michelle Obama is an intelligent and strong African-American woman, and I suspect that for many that combination is really hard to handle. FOX's Cal Thomas, for one, thinks it's just an "awful lot for Americans to accept."

On the way to the event, I spot another yard sign for John McCain. The McCain signs are exactly the same colors and layout as the the Hillary signs were that dotted lawns across the country in the spring.

The campaign is long over, and yet Hillary is forced to keep asking for cash. The word "help" is plastered all over the letter, the smell of bad management rising from the text.

I think it's just great they're back in New Hampshire together. Obama and Clinton split the vote here in Unity -- each got 107 votes -- so it makes perfect sense that they'll come back to Unity to start again.

"Hillary had the fighting spirit. That's what we were in support of more than any policy. We admired that and we're taking that forward. We're going to fight. That's the message of her campaign, for us."

Clinton's tenacity, her desire to be a model intelligent women in the public sphere influencing governance, has turned the scarlet letter she has been made to wear-- A for Ambition-- into a badge of honor.

In the optimism over restoring America's international image by electing Obama, little was said about the possible international significance of a Hillary Clinton presidency.

Florida Democrats, still heated after the botched Democratic primary there and its rancorous aftermath, came together to protest John McCain's opposition to a national catastrophe relief funds.

We can credit Hillary with many gifts, among them, however, is not a mastery of timing: The "experience" candidate's campaign is a textbook example of right things done at wrong times.

Happy Obama the winner was confident, a great communicator. Doc Clinton was a wonky loser who acted the winner. And Grumpy McCain looked and sounded every bit the loser, unpracticed and sad and tired.

The DNC's decision to give Florida delegates half votes got mixed reviews. The decision left many local party activists less than happy and supporters of Sen. Hillary Clinton combative.
