When it crashed down this morning I thought the house was going to collapse. Thunder like I’ve not heard since I was a kid. In fact, I have to go back to when I was a girl growing up in Missouri to recall such crashes. Then the rain came, with this morning bringing with it a downpour on a day when sun was hoped for. It’s the big showdown between Deeds, Moran and McAuliffe. Most people go to the polls before they go to work. Only the strongest survived that plan, because Virginia weather just didn’t cooperate.
I’ll be out this afternoon for a while, attending a foreign policy lunch that should be quite interesting. I’ll blog it or tweet on Twitter if I can keep from getting my keyboard sticky. It’s with Mustafa Barghouti, someone who should definitely be interesting to meet.
In the meantime, I wonder how many took in Newt’s speech last night at the big Republican Senate House Dinner? If there was ever a doubt that he’s running for president, last night should have obliterated that notion.
As for other news… Sarkozy, Michelle Obama and the girls.
If this picture doesn’t represent Judge Sotomayor’s struggles to get on the Supreme Court to date nothing does.
A rare “victory” against Obama’s secrecy, passed down from Bush-Cheney. Great work by Jane, Howie and all of you who pitched in to make a call or send a letter. Glenn has more.
Lastly, something many of you will appreciate, Ezra Klein on health care, the basics.
