Did anyone ever notice that Barack Obama pronounces it “Pok-i-stan” instead of “Pak-i-stan”?

You’re going to get lighter blogging on the Democrats this evening…

Partially because the Democrats are incapable of saying something interesting. For starters, I’m sure you’re shocked to learn that Bill Richardson, as president, would aim to first use diplomacy to deal with problems overseas.

He would “ask” Musharraf to step aside. “We have the leverage to do that.”

I can’t believe I’m writing this, but Hillary looks pretty good tonight. None of that “toll of the campaign” exhaustion on her face tonight. But the Mrs. thinks Hillary sounds tired.

She says we need more NATO troops in Afghanistan, and wants Predators. She notes that we have to inform the Pakistanis when we fire missiles into their territory, so they don’t think it’s an attack from India.

Everybody on the Democratic side seems a bit… sleepy? It’s an awfully late start for them.

It took 18 minutes for Barack Obama to contend that the reason we haven’t caught Osama bin Laden is because of the Iraq War.

I’m sure it will come as a complete shock to you that when the issue is nuclear terrorism, John Edwards is attempting to sound tough. I still contend he comes across as a John Grisham hero in a Tom Clancy world.
