Now that I’m done gloating (for now) about the New York Giants Super Bowl triumph, I can pay more attention to important things like our country’s energy choices. My friend and former colleague Heather Hamilton reports back from a forum that confirms what we’ve been discussing here for a while: U.S.
Director of National Intelligence Mike McConnell is concerned that al Qaeda’s base is shifting outside of Iraq. This may undo President Bush’s famous line, “We are fighting them there so we don’t have to fight them here.
It will be interesting to measure reality with Gallup’s latest tracking poll showing Hillary Clinton ahead of Obama by 5%. I’ve grown very skeptical of polls (again) — so take with a grain of salt. We’ll all know tonight how things shape up.
