Rocky blogger Major Andrew Olmsted killed in Iraq  —  He was the first casualty for 2008 in Iraq.  And a small part of Maj. Andrew Olmsted likely would've chuckled at that fact.  It would be droll and play into his sense of self-deprecation.  —  But for everyone else, the news would be devastating.

Turnout Thoughts  —  I am still gathering my thoughts on Obama's win.  In all likelihood, his vote count is lower than actual turnout for his candidacy due to the excessive weighting of rural precincts that went for Edwards.  And while Obama performed fantastically, Clinton and Edwards …

Obama: The World's Candidate  —  Watching America.com is running a multiple feature of global stories about the candidate who has the world's attention - Obama.  He is has the world's attention not because he is personally more interesting than any other candidate, but because he is symbolically the most important - and by far.
